Adobe Authenticator modules

Last update: March 11, 2025

Topics:
Workfront Fusion

The Adobe Authenticator module allows you to connect to any Adobe API, using a single connection. This allows you to more easily connect to Adobe products that do not yet have a dedicated Fusion connector.

The advantage over the HTTP modules is that you can create a connection, as in a dedicated app.

To see a list of available Adobe APIs, see Adobe APIs. You may be able to use only the APIs to which you are assigned.

Access requirements

Adobe Workfront package	New: Any Or Current: Pro or higher
Adobe Workfront license	New: Standard Or Current: Plan, Work
Adobe Workfront Fusion license	Current Fusion license requirement: No Workfront Fusion license requirement. Or Legacy Fusion license requirement: Workfront Fusion for Work Automation and Integration
Product	New Workfront plan: If you have the Select or Prime Adobe Workfront Plan, your organization must purchase Adobe Workfront Fusion as well as Adobe Workfront to use functionality described in this article. Workfront Fusion is included in the Ultimate Workfront plan. Or Current Workfront plan: Your organization must purchase Adobe Workfront Fusion as well as Adobe Workfront to use functionality described in this article.

Prerequisites

You must have access to the Adobe product that you want the module to connect to.
You must have access to the Adobe Developer Console.
You must have a project on the Adobe Developer Console that includes the API that you want the module to connect to. You can:
- Create a new project with the API.
  
  Or
- Add the API to an existing project.
For information on creating or adding an API to a project on the Adobe Developer Console, see Create a project in the Adobe documentation.

Adobe Authenticator API information

The Adobe Authenticator connector uses the following:

API tag

v1.1.4

Create a connection

An Adobe Authenticator connection connects to a single project on the Adobe Developer Console. To use the same connection for more than one Adobe API, add the APIs to the same project, and create a connection to that project.

You can create separate connections to separate projects, but you cannot use a connection to access an API that is not on the project specified in that connection.

IMPORTANT

With the Adobe Authenticator connector, you have the choice between making an OAuth Server-to-server connection, or a Service Account (JWT) connection. Adobe has deprecated JWT credentials, which will stop working after January 1, 2025. Therefore, we highly recommend creating OAuth connections.

For more information on these types of connections, see Server to Server authentication in the Adobe documentation

To create a connection:

In any Adobe Authenticator module, click Add next to the Connection field.
Fill in the following fields:
Connection type
Select whether you want to create an OAuth Server-to-Server connection, or a service account (JWT) connection.
Connection name
Enter a name for this connection.
Client ID
Enter your Adobe Client ID. This can be found in the Credentials details section of the Adobe Developer Console.
Client Secret
Enter your Adobe Client Secret. This can be found in the Credentials details section of the Adobe Developer Console.
Scopes
If you have selected an OAuth connection, enter the scopes needed for this connection.
Technical account ID
Enter your Adobe Technical account ID. This can be found in the Credentials details section of the Adobe Developer Console.
Organization ID
If you have selected a JWT connection, enter your Adobe Organization ID. This can be found in the Credentials details section of the Adobe Developer Console.
Meta Scopes
If you have selected a JWT connection, enter the meta scopes needed for this connection.
Private key
If you have selected a JWT connection, enter the private key that was generated when your credentials were created in the Adobe Developer Console.

To extract your private key or certificate:

Click Extract.

Select the type of file you are extracting.

Select the file that contains the private key or certificate.

Enter the password for the file.

Click Save to extract the file and return to the connection setup.
Base URLs

You must add the base URLs that you want this authenticator to allow. When using the Make a custom API call module later in the scenario, you will add a relative path to the chosen URL. By entering URLs here, you can control what the Make a custom API call module can connect to, which increases security.

For each base URL that you want to add to the authenticator, click Add item and enter the base URL.

Authentication URL
Leave this blank to use the standard Adobe IMS authentication URL of https://ims-na1.adobelogin.com. If you do not use Adobe IMS for authentication, enter the URL to use for authentication.
Environment
Select whether you are connecting to a production or non-production environment.
Type
Select whether you are connecting to a service account or a personal account.
Click Continue to save the connection and return to the module.

Make a custom API call

This action module allows you to make a call to any Adobe API. It supports large files, instead of text-only bodies.

This module was made available on November 14, 2024. Any Adobe Authenticator > Make a custom API call configured before this date does not handle large files, and is now considered the Make a custom API call (Legacy) module.
