Dynamic Binary Basic Auth Accounts?

Similar to some of the other “dynamic” type of accounts, is there a way to implement a dynamic binary basic auth account? I have a need to send files to partners via file transfer protocols like SFTP, but where the credentials need to be stored and pulled from an internal IAM system. Assuming I can handle that part in an upstream snap, how can I then use those credentials in a File Writer (etc) type of snap? Thoughts?

    I believe the Binary Basic Auth account’s username/password properties are already expression-enabled. So, you should be able to make them expressions and use a pipeline parameter to set their values dynamically.

    What about REST Basic Auth? Not seeing expressions enabled there. Might be able to not use an account and pass a constructed auth header in the request instead I suppose.

      Looks like that was missed, I’ve filed a feature request.
