Authentication

HTTPInvoker uses External Authentication to support MTLS and OAuth Authentication schemes. Register the base URL or individual URLs in External Authentication and HTTPInvoker will use that to seemlessly manage the authentication for each outbound request, including caching and renewing authentication tokens.
