Hi Support,

How would i provide access to my external api without the need for a username / password or login credentials?

Thanks in advance

Hi Lee,

You can achieve this by using named session credentials, which will allow the external service to call your flow without logging into a specific account. Named sessions allow calls to be made to Decisions with session IDs using preset user account information.

In order to set this up we need to create a named session, Details of this process are also found here, and i will outline below: https://documentation.decisions.com/docs/create-named-session

Under System > Security > Named Sessions select add account and fill in a name for the call, and select an account that will be used for the service to retrieve the file. This can be a default account with enough permissions to access the flow, and will only be used to maintain a session for the service call. You can get the named session value by right clicking and selecting Get Named session value. This value will be used as a parameter within the external flow call used to authenticate and allow the flow to be accessed.

You can then call your flow using integrations. Details are found here: [url=https://documentation.decisions.com/docs/view-integration-details]https://documentation.decisions.com/docs/view-integration-details[/url]
