Hi guys, I'm developing a custom tool, and I see the Advanced_auth and authSpecification in code of some source. What do those config do? I did try to read airbyte protocol code-base, but still don't understand what they do actually.

Hello, thanks so much for your interest! I looked into it and
authSpecification
will be deprecated and should not be used anymore: https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/15019
advanced_auth
is for implementing oauth2 and it can be added into your connector's
spec.yaml
. I found a few examples: source-salesforce, source-strava, source-microsoft-teams. Please scroll up on these and check the
credentials
object for examples on how to set it up in the spec properties.
