External Services doesn’t respect:
- A schema’s
securityDefinitions and security sections.
- Authentication data stored in a flow. The standard HTTP request headers
Accept, Content-Type, and
Authorization are handled by the External Service and
can't be overridden as OpenAPI operation input parameters. The Authorization header is set by
the Named Credential.
To create a Named Credential, see Define an External Credential and a Named Credential.
