@kapa.ai can the airbyte connector builder handle certificat client mTLS authentification?
k
Based on the available knowledge sources, the Airbyte Connector Builder UI does not natively support mutual TLS (mTLS) / client certificate authentication. The Connector Builder supports standard authentication methods such as: • No auth • API Key • Bearer Token • OAuth 2.0 For APIs requiring client certificates (mTLS), the knowledge sources indicate this is not supported in the Connector Builder UI. As noted in a community discussion, there is no way to pass certificate parameters (public/private key pairs) through the Connector Builder. [API cert auth forum] Similarly, disabling SSL certificate verification in the Connector Builder is also not supported. [SSL verification forum] Alternatives If you need mTLS authentication, your options are: 1. Low-code CDK – Build your connector using the low-code CDK, which gives you more flexibility for custom authentication. [Connector Builder auth] 2. Python CDK – Use the Python CDK for full control over the HTTP request, including passing
cert
parameters (as you would with
requests.post(..., cert=(client_crt, client_key))
). [Connector Builder auth] > Note: Some native database connectors (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, Oracle) do support SSL/TLS with client certificates at the connector level, but this is implemented per-connector and is not available as a general feature in the Connector Builder UI. 👍 0 button 👎 0 button ℹ️ Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help.
