Configuring Workflow Web Services and Request Headers

Workflow

So after working on this a while, I have come to find out that for secure authentication, the encrypted token needs to be included... This means that we will have to find a way to encrypt authentication in another tool.

If we have a query coming from each user in an organization, there will have to be some way program encryption on each user so that it's passed to Workflow.

Are there any other ways to configure this more elegantly?

Currently the activity is geared toward easing connections to intranet systems that use anonymous or windows authentication. We'll be looking at expanding it to support more complicated authorization schemes in the future. You can use a script activity in most of these cases now by specifying the authorization header in the request headers property of the activity (accessed by the gear icon).

Are you trying to use the Http Web Request activity?

When configuring the web service properties you would either configure the service to use 'default authentication' which will be the windows account that the workflow server is running as or specify the domain user name and password to connect as.

There is currently no way to impersonate the user who is making the initial query.
