Azure 逻辑应用无法使用转换后的 base64 编码 pfx 创建客户端证书身份验证

Question

I want to get the token information for ADP Client through Azure Logic App. I have the Client Certificate from ADP so I decided to use HTTP trigger from Logic App and selected authentication type "Client Certificate". Since I cant directly use certificate in Logic app so I converted certificate into base64Encoded .pfx format, and certificate is not having any password. below is the sample code for the request

{
    "definition": {
        "$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/providers/Microsoft.Logic/schemas/2016-06-01/workflowdefinition.json#",
        "actions": {},
        "contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
        "outputs": {},
        "triggers": {
            "HTTP": {
                "inputs": {
                    "authentication": {
                        "pfx": "convertedbase64string",
                        "type": "ClientCertificate"
                    },
                    "body": "grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=ClientId&client_secret=client_secret",
                    "headers": {
                        "content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
                    },
                    "method": "POST",
                    "uri": "https://accounts.adp.com/auth/oauth/v2/token"
                },
                "recurrence": {
                    "frequency": "Month",
                    "interval": 15
                },
                "type": "Http"
            }
        }
    },
    "kind": "Stateful"
}

above request returns me bad request, can anyone help me what is going wrong here?

For converting into base64 I used below steps in power shell
$pfx_cert = get-content 'C:\sample\adpcertificate.pfx' -Encoding Byte
$output =[Convert]::ToBase64String($pfx_cert)
$output

I tried same request with client certificate using postman which is working fine, but not able to get succeed with Logic App.

Any help is much appreciated.

There are only few differences between the headers sent from Postman and the Logic App. The main difference is that Postman also sends the accept-header: "Accept": "*/*" and leaves out alle the x-ms-* headers from the logic app.

I created a Logic App with http-trigger, which I post to from Postman and Logic App to inspect the changes:

With Postman

{
    "headers": {
        "Connection": "keep-alive",
        "Accept": "*/*",
        "Accept-Encoding": "br,gzip,deflate",
        "Host": "....westeurope.logic.azure.com:443",
        "User-Agent": "PostmanRuntime/7.28.4",
        "Postman-Token": "...-baea-4e89-9bf6-490a63968b5d",
        "Content-Length": "76",
        "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
    },
    "body": {
        "$content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
        "$content": "Z3JhbnRfdHlwZT1jbGllbnRfY3JlZGVudGlhbHMmY2xpZW50X2lkPUNsaWVudElkJmNsaWVudF9zZWNyZXQ9Y2xpZW50X3NlY3JldA==",
        "$formdata": [
            {
                "key": "grant_type",
                "value": "client_credentials"
            },
            {
                "key": "client_id",
                "value": "ClientId"
            },
            {
                "key": "client_secret",
                "value": "client_secret"
            }
        ]
    }
}

With Logic App

{
    "headers": {
        "Connection": "Keep-Alive",
        "Accept-Encoding": "gzip,deflate",
        "Accept-Language": "en",
        "Host": "...westeurope.logic.azure.com",
        "User-Agent": "azure-logic-apps/1.0,(workflow ...; version ...)",
        "x-ms-trigger-callback-url": "https://....westeurope.logic.azure.com/ <...>",
        "x-ms-trigger-type": "Http",
        "x-ms-workflow-id": "...",
        "x-ms-workflow-version": "...",
        "x-ms-workflow-name": "myworkflowname",
        "x-ms-workflow-system-id": "/locations/westeurope/scaleunits/...",
        "x-ms-workflow-run-id": "...",
        "x-ms-workflow-operation-name": "HTTP",
        "x-ms-execution-location": "westeurope",

        "Content-Length": "76",
        "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
    },
    "body": {
        "$content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
        "$content": "Z3JhbnRfdHlwZT1jbGllbnRfY3JlZGVudGlhbHMmY2xpZW50X2lkPUNsaWVudElkJmNsaWVudF9zZWNyZXQ9Y2xpZW50X3NlY3JldA==",
        "$formdata": [
            {
                "key": "grant_type",
                "value": "client_credentials"
            },
            {
                "key": "client_id",
                "value": "ClientId"
            },
            {
                "key": "client_secret",
                "value": "client_secret"
            }
        ]
    }
}

Solution

My solution would be to manually add the Accept-Header in the post request in the Logic App.

"headers": {
        "Accept": "*/*",
        // ...
    },

I sadly don't have an ADP account to verify this, but I've seen other APIs break when no accept header is sent.
