determine that the hosting location of the connector is a local hosting location based on the hosting location being within a local computing environment of the computing device; and

include the service credential in the authentication header.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the hosting location of the connector is determined based on a network address of the connector.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing device to at least:

retrieve, based on the service request, data from the network service, wherein an authentication with the network service is completed based on the service credential.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing device to at least:

provide, to the client device, the data retrieved from the network service.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising machine-readable instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by at least one processor, cause a computing device to at least:

receive, by a workflow service from a client device, a service request associated with a network service;

receive, by the workflow service, a single sign-on (SSO) token, the SSO token representing a user account authenticated with an identity manager;

identify, by the workflow service, authentication data for the network service based on the SSO token;

determine, by the workflow service, based on the authentication data, a connector type corresponding to a hosting location of a connector for the network service;

append, by the workflow service, an authentication header to the service request, wherein the workflow service appends the authentication header to include authentication information selected based on the connector type indicating local hosting or external hosting of the connector with respect to the workflow service, the authentication information comprising:

a service credential that the connector uses for authentication with the network service in an instance in which the connector type indicates local hosting of the connector with respect to the workflow service, or

instructions for the connector to retrieve the service credential from a server external to a local computing environment of the computing device in an instance in which the connector type indicates external hosting of the connector with respect to the workflow service; and

transmit, by the workflow service to the connector, the service request comprising the authentication header.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing device to at least:

determine that the hosting location of the connector is an external hosting location based on the hosting location being external to a local computing environment of the computing device; and

include, in the authentication header, the instructions for the connector to retrieve the service credential from the server external to the local computing environment.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the instructions for the connector to retrieve the service credential comprise a network address for the server.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing device to at least:

determine that the hosting location of the connector is a local hosting location based on the hosting location being within a local computing environment of the computing device; and

include the service credential in the authentication header.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the hosting location of the connector is determined based on a network address of the connector.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing device to at least:

retrieve, based on the service request, data from the network service, wherein an authentication with the network service is completed based on the service credential.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing device to at least:

provide, to the client device, the data retrieved from the network service.

15. A method, comprising:

receiving, by a workflow service from a client device, a service request associated with a network service;

receiving, by the workflow service, a single sign-on (SSO) token, the SSO token representing a user account authenticated with an identity manager;

identifying, by the workflow service, authentication data for the network service based on the SSO token;

determining, by the workflow service, based on the authentication data, a connector type corresponding to a hosting location of a connector for the network service;

appending, by the workflow service, an authentication header to the service request, wherein the workflow service appends the authentication header to include authentication information selected based on the connector type indicating local hosting or external hosting of the connector with respect to the workflow service, the authentication information comprising:

a service credential that the connector uses for authentication with the network service in an instance in which the connector type indicates local hosting of the connector with respect to the workflow service, or

instructions for the connector to retrieve the service credential from a server external to a local computing environment of the computing device in an instance in which the connector type indicates external hosting of the connector with respect to the workflow service; and

transmitting, by the workflow service to the connector, the service request comprising the authentication header.

16. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

determining that the hosting location of the connector is an external hosting location based on the hosting location being external to a local computing environment of the computing device; and

including, in the authentication header, the instructions for the connector to retrieve the service credential from the server external to the local computing environment.
