Code Stream

I was doing some testing with adding an external vRealize Orchestrator 8.4 endpoint to vRealize Automation Code Stream 8.4, and it turns out there’s a redirect that happens with the vRO 8.4 appliance that makes the endpoint validation fail. When you enter the URL and click ACCEPT CERTIFICATE the UI will throw an error: Server error on getting certificates. Http failure response for https://<vRA FQDN>/codestream/api/endpoint-certificate?url=https://<vRO FQDN>: 400 Bad Request Error getting certificates!

To generate a basic authentication header from a username and password in Code Stream you could use a CI task and execute echo -n username:password | base64 in the shell then export the result for use later on. A more repeatable way is to create a Custom Integration that takes the two inputs, and returns the encoded header as an output. To create the Custom Integration: Create a new Custom Integration named “Create Basic Authentication Header” Select the Runtime - the examples below are shell and python3 respectively Replace the placeholder code with the example from below Save and version the Custom Integration, ensuring you eanble the “Release Version” toggle Creating the Custom Integration To use the Custom Integration in a pipeline:
