We are not allowed to pull extensions from the normal KNIME location due to company rules. We have been downloading the extension zip files and setting up an internal repository using anonymous access. The company now want the repository to require authentication, ID/ Password, Active Directory, Okta or some other authentication mechanism. I have been searching the forum and documentation but I cannot find a way to set up any kind of authentication on the extension installation. Any ideas?

The extension download mechanism supports update sites that require BASIC authentication - the kind of authentication that pops up a login windows in your browser. The same will happen in KNIME, a login popup will appear. Any other kind of authentication, especially MFA, are not supported.

Is it possible to add authentication to KNIME Extension installation?

not sure if it helps but it seems to be possible to install extensions from predownloaded zip files
