Selecting Cloud Connector authentication

Before you can create a Cloud Application Connector, a vault entry must first exist. The steps described here take place after completing the first page of the Vault Entry Wizard.

1. Select the cloud application (Shopify, Salesforce, etc) that the vault will be used to authenticate.
2. Enter the required authorization values for the particular Cloud App.

   Certain parameters will be required in order to proceed with authentication, which will be displayed in bold. The external application however may require additional parameters (not bold) in the Wizard. Always reference applicable external documentation for guidelines. This information is also summarized in the Prerequisites section for each Connector.

3. Complete grant flow for authenticating communications. This requires signing into the actual application with your required credentials (username/password).

   A Switch mode button provides an alternate way to authorize the account. Selecting this option takes you to another screen which lets you paste the redirect URL from the external browser into the wizard., which will then be validated. This is in response to issues related to older Web browsers, or when using a Studio running on Linux.

4. Click Finish. The vault entry now appears in the Auth Vault view (Admin Console/Settings).
