Hi,
I wanted to discuss the on-prem agent.
Firstly, I noticed a small issue with the Linux on-prem agent files. The path should be /bin/bash
instead of bin/bash
. After fixing this manually, it worked properly.
I installed the agent on an AWS EC2 server, and it appears to be functioning well. However, I have a few questions:
- Could you share the roadmap for the on-prem agent? Currently, we cannot fully utilize this solution as it diminishes the effectiveness of an iPaaS system by only supporting the HTTP module.
- Why are the authentication options so limited? The lack of OAuth2 and other authentication methods that the HTTP module already supports is concerning.
I believe more development effort is needed in this area to make it suitable for enterprise use.
Thank you for your attention to these matters.
Best regards,
@PierreL @Darin_Patterson @Tereza
You might be able to answer; I am also interested to know your thoughts on the above questions.
Thanks,
Sam

Hi Dorian, Thanks for the small issue you noticed – I’ll provide that feedback to our team. I’ve provided some short answers to your questions below and I’d be keen to hear any specific use cases you are exploring.

Currently the on-premise agent includes the ability to do basic HTTP connections and it supports a purpose-built SAP on-premise app as well. This was the primary use case we were targeting with the agent. We are in the process of exploring a few options, including some that you mentioned in your second question, including:
- Providing documentation so anyone using our apps platform can build their own apps for on-premise applications
- Expanding the HTTP modules to include API Key and Oauth authentication models. Those this has proved to be more technically complicated than originally hoped.
Thanks for providing the feedback and we’ll look forward to seeing how this capability expands over time.
