Hey Team ,

Trying to change the auth type from bearer token to apikey using below config

{
  "version": 1.0,
  "globals": {
    "securityOverwrites": {
      "apiKey": {
		"key": "Authorization",			
        "value": "{{apiKey}}",
		"in": "header"
      }
    }
  }
}

schema.yml :

securitySchemes:
    tokenAuth:
      type: http
      scheme: bearer
      bearerFormat: Token

hi @sumitriotinto

If I understand correctly you try to change the auth type from the Postman "Bearer Token" to " API Key"?

Question: Would it not make more sense to modify the incorrect Auth type in the OpenAPI specification, since it might be wrong for any integrator that uses your OpenAPI as the integration reference/documentation?

The securityOverwrites was build to modify existing Auth settings ("apiKey", "http basic auth", "http bearer token"), not to change the Auth Type, with some exceptions: awsv4, digest, edgegrid, ntlm, oauth1, oauth2.

From the readme:

securityOverwrites : Overwrite of the OpenAPI Security Scheme Object (supported types: "apiKey", "http basic auth", "http bearer token") or inject a Postman authorization option (supported types: awsv4, digest, edgegrid, ntlm, oauth1, oauth2) on a collection level.

We consider the OpenAPI the source for Postman, so that is why changing Auth types felt more a capability that should be part of the OpenAPI modifications, but if there is a valuable use-case we could make this a feature request.
