Authentication
Introduction
The authentication
tab for an endpoint is where you decide which of your defined authentication methods for this connector can be used for this endpoint:

When an authentication method is activated for an endpoint, it means that the endpoint will be available in process flows when:
AND
AND
That instance was originally configured using this authentication method
How does this work?
When you add an instance for a connector, you must provide credentials for authentication. Any authentication methods that you have configured for the connector will be available for selection.
So, if you have configured two authentication methods and added an instance for each, and you want your endpoint to be available whichever instance a user chooses to use in a process flow, you need to activate both of these for your endpoint.
For example, suppose that:
You've configured
basic auth
andOAuth 2
authentication methods for your connector, and have addedinstance 1
withbasic auth
credentials andinstance 2
usingOAuth
credentials.You add an 'orders' endpoint, but you ONLY activate the
basic auth
authentication method.
The effect will be:
If you add a connection shape to a process flow and associate it with
instance 1
(i.e. usingbasic auth
), the 'orders' endpoint will be available for selection - this is because we've activatedbasic auth
for the endpoint.If you add a connection shape to a process flow and associate it with
instance 2
(i.e. usingOAuth 2
), the 'orders' endpoint will NOT be available for selection - this is because we didn't activateOAuth 2
for the endpoint, but the instance is authenticated usingOAuth 2
credentials.
Activating an authentication method for an endpoint
To activate an authentication method for an endpoint, just set the appropriate toggle option to 'on' - for example:
