Can Custom Connector Access Windows Certificate Store
Hi,
I am looking into creating a custom connector that can call an API that requires mTLS + client credential flow. I can embed the certificate into the file and load the Certificate as an extension within the .pq file. Now, is there a way for the custom connector or On-premises gateway to access the Windows Certificate Store and use the certificate from there instead?
Update: I was able to perform mTLS within customconnector/On-prem gateway. One of the paremeter called client certificate inside Web.Contents takes a thumprint of certificates stored inside the Windows Certificate Store. This certificate is presented to the server from client machine and can perform mTLS
