Thank you for your feedback

Adapter authentication is very flexible. There are a variety of modifications you can make:

Alter the IAP Service Instance Configuration for the adapter in Admin Essentials.
- Type of authentication.
- Credentials.
- Expiration of information.
- Format of data on actual requests.
Alter the Endpoint Configuration for the adapter in the /adapter-home-dir/entities/.system directory.
- Alter the getToken action.
- Alter the token request and response schemas.
Use authData or callProperties from adapter.js.
Code changes for custom authentication in adapter.js

You can also add other things into adapter.js. For example, we had a system that took in a secret but wanted to pass it through SHA-1 with HMAC. Using adapter properties, Itential was able to achieve this with additional headers on calls and by adding SHA1/HMAC calls to adapter.js.
