Agent 2 Agent authentication

Connect Integration Service to a remote Agent2Agent (A2A) agent by entering its service URL and the credentials for the authentication type the agent requires.

Each Agent 2 Agent connection points to one remote agent. Create a connection for every agent you want to call from Maestro.

Prérequis

• The remote agent meets the remote agent requirements.
• The base URL of the agent, used as the Service URL. Enter the base URL only, without a path or a trailing slash. The connector adds the A2A paths, such as /.well-known/agent-card.json, itself.
• The credentials for the authentication type that the agent requires. The agent declares its supported security schemes in its Agent Card.

Type d’authentification

All authentication types require the Service URL. The other fields depend on the authentication type.

Type d’authentification	Champs
Authentification de base	Username, Password (optional), Authentication validation API (optional)
Clé API	Parameter name, Value, Add to (Header or Query, default Header), Authentication validation API (optional)
Jeton d’accès personnel	Token prefix (default Bearer), Token, Authentication validation API (optional)
Code d'autorisation OAuth 2.0	Client ID, Client secret, Authorization URL, Token URL, Scope (optional)
Informations d'identification du client OAuth 2.0	Client ID, Client secret, Token URL, Scope (optional)
Mot de passe OAuth 2.0	Client ID, Client secret, Authorization URL, Token URL, Username, Password (optional), Scope (optional)
Porteur JWT OAuth 2.0	Client ID, Client secret, Authorization URL, Token URL, JWT base64 encoded key, Scope (optional)

The following fields need more context:

• Parameter name: the exact name of the header or query parameter that carries the API key, for example X-API-Key.
• Token prefix: the prefix added before the token in the Authorization header. Leave it empty if the agent expects the token without a prefix.
• Authentication validation API: a relative path that returns a successful response when the credentials are valid, for example /api/v1/me.
• Scope: the OAuth scopes requested from the authorization server of the agent, as declared in its Agent Card. Separate multiple scopes with spaces or commas. Leave it empty to use the default scopes of the authorization server.
• JWT base64 encoded key: the Base64-encoded private key used to sign the JWT. Follow the instructions of your identity provider to generate and encode it.
