I haven't run into this before, but I have a system that I need to Post data to and they are telling me that they don't use any level of authentication. Specifically, they said in their email to me that:

"Usually we just had a hash that you pass and/or we restrict the IP the posts come from."

My question is, is it possible to build a connection to this system if no authentication is being used on their side? Is so, what option do I select when building the authentication for the connection in Celigo?

Hi @daveguderian,

It is possible to [create an HTTP connection with no authentication](https://docs.celigo.com/hc/en-us/articles/6610239051675-Set-up-an-HTTP-connection-with-no-authentication).

Let us know if you have any further questions!

Thanks.

@daveguderian the doc @kathyanaqueeman linked needs to be updated so we'll work on that. You just have to:

1. Name your connection
2. Set your base uri
3. Set your media type
4. Set your auth type = custom
5. Save
