Authentication Information - D365 BC

The D365 SC Connector uses Custom Authentication. When creating a Connector, you must first store the authorization information in an Authorization Vault, which provides a secure storage location for API keys, tokens, usernames and passwords, headers, and other info used to authorize calls to external Web Services. In order for a Cloud Connector to work, this vault entry must exist and be configured for the external application you wish to communicate with.

Follow the below steps from the CIC Studio to create a new Vault entry.

1. Open the CIC Studio (Older generations may require you to connect to a server).
2. Go to File > New > Cloud Connector. This will open the Select Vault Entry.

   

3. Click the + button to create a new vault entry. Alternatively, you can select a vault alias from the list (if already created).

   

4. Provide the vault entry alias name and select the environment.

   

5. From the list of connectors select D365 Business Central.

6. Select the type of authentication you want to use for the connector and hit Next.
