Secure string in HTTP Request activity header

is there a way to use a variable of type “Secure.String” inside the headers of the http request activity?

Unfortunately i cannot change the type inside the header collection:

Because of security reasons i try to avoid a conversion of secure string into string inside the headers.

Hi @schwarzp,

I can relate with the topic, but I don’t think there is a way to use the header as secure string.

What I usually do is to set the activity as private, at least to avoid it being logged. (Studio - Protecting Sensitive Information)

Cheers,

I think its not possible to convert that type into a secure string.

UiPath provides a way to handle secure credentials using the Orchestrator Asset service.

  1. Create a credential asset in Orchestrator and store your sensitive information there.
  2. Use the Get Asset activity to retrieve the secure asset from Orchestrator.
