Does Apigee support Digest Authentication?

[gaspar]

Hello
I'm evaluating Apigee because we have to connect to a REST source that unfortunately only uses Digest kind of authentication, btw in Postman everything works fine but its not viable as a middle tier.

The Digest model is really old and almost not in use anymore, but there are certain monopolies (no names) that will just not move to a more modern model because they don't need to.

Basic information on how Digest Authentication works:

With Digest auth, the client sends a first request and the server responds with a few details, including a number that can be used only once (a nonce), a realm value, and a 401 unauthorized response. You then send back an encrypted array of data including a username and password combined with the data received from the server in the first request. The server uses the passed data to generate an encrypted string and compares it against what you sent in order to authenticate your request.

If Apigee does not support it, I will continue to look for alternatives.

Any pointers will be greately appreciated

Thanks
