I have an requirement to send SSL certificate (.csr and .key) file while consuming rest api. I searched on forums but there they have provided to add some .pfx certificate but not .csr.
Can someone help me to understand the steps how and where i can add/import SSL certificate and test the API in outsystems.
Hi Shahrukh,
It would be worth trying out your use case with Postman first. If your API works well with Postman, then try implementing the same here in Outsystems.
See what options give you the desired results in calling API from Postman with different file formats and headers. Just makes it a bit handy, in my opinion.
If possible please share here the links of forums where you found that you should add pfx and not csr, so we can understand the context more clearly.
Hi Ravi,I have tested in postman, under certificate I have uploaded .cer and .key SSL certificate. it is working in postman.How can now add the same certificate in outsystems while consuming the Rest API.reference for doing the same I am posting below where they have shown to add .pfx file with password.

In Postman added certificate under setting > Certificate > add certificate
Thanks for the details and confirming about your example working in Postman.
Here's how you can achieve it in Outsystems. Download and install the following forge component:

Then use the server action AddClientCertificate from this component inside the OnBeforeRequest
