More flexible use of Security Profiles - pulling credentials into flows at runtime

Pulling credentials in at runtime, from those set against a Security Profile, would enable more creative use of the credentials.

Currently Security Profiles can only be used in a limited capacity e.g. to propagate credentials for use with HTTP Basic Auth schemes.

Increasingly, through the various implementation of OAuth, integrators require flexibility with regards to how they plug credentials into a service interface e.g. apply to various protocols headers, API keys and secrets etc.

    Hi Roberto. Thank you for taking the time to raise this enhancement request and apologies for the time taken to respond. As written, I'm afraid we're struggling to understand the specific request here. In general security profiles are used in situations where deeper configuration is required than "just use a security identity to authenticate an inbound query to a flow". In some situations the security profile could of course also be something pretty simple like turning on HTTP Basic Auth. Is there a specific usecase that you would like to see for a Security Profile? OAuth was mentioned and we do have a long standing desire to add native OAuth support to ACE which is covered under other ideas (eg APPC-I-199 and APPC-I-360). Or was your thinking about some other security model or a specific transport / use in conjunction with a particular flow node type? Or possibly you were thinking about some kind of extended usecase around letting flow developers have access to information in the security profile in a similar way that we now allow JCN code to access credentials?
