Hi, @Anonymous 

To get certified by Microsoft as a Certified Connector, your API must support one of the following authentication types:

1. OAuth2,

2. anonymous authentication,

3. API key, or

4. basic authentication

This means that if your custom query connector uses anonymous authentication, you meet the minimum requirements for authentication to proceed with the certification process. 

However, it's essential to note that meeting the authentication requirement is just one part of the certification process. You must also ensure that your connector complies with other certification requirements, such as providing a support contact for customers, ensuring your app has a minimum of 99.9% uptime, and adhering to technical and content compliance standards set by Microsoft.
