Triggering API calls in Qlik using HMAC-SHA512 authentication
Hi,
I am troubleshooting a method to achieve the following:
1. Using the "Inphinity" extension that enables writeback capabilities in Qlik to write changes directly to a table showin on Qlik dashboard.
2. Read the changes and execute a 'PUT' API call that requires HMAC-SHA512 authentication in order to update the values updated in the dashboard to the data source
Step 2 is where I am facing challenges. I have tried the following:
- Under 'data load editor' in Qlik, the authentication method of 'HMAC-SHA512' does not seem to be supported by default.
- I have written raw Python code to execute as a 'custom script' block under 'Automations' in Qlik, however, there seems to be restrictions in the internet/DNS calls made within the Qlik Automation cloud environment disabling this.
Does Qlik support any way of HMAC-SHA512 authentications for API calls and what options do I have to go around this issue?
