3: Authentication methods

Introduction

We need to tell Patchworks what authentication methods can be used when someone chooses to add an instance of your connector, for use in process flows.

Any authentication methods added here will be available to users when they choose to add an instance of this connector - for example:

Supported authentication types

Patchworks supports the following authentication types:

• Basic authentication
• Token-based authentication
• OAuth 2 (client credentials)
• OAuth 2 (authorisation code)
• OAuth 1

Working with authentication methods

Please see Adding a new authentication method for general steps required to add a new authentication method for a connector.

You'll find detailed information about options and settings in the Authentication method options section, and step-by-step examples for each type in the Supported authentication types section.
