Adding Service Authentication to an App Module

Within an App Module, you can define objects that hold the connection credentials and authentication/authorization data for any applications that the App Module will connect to. Once these objects are defined for the module, you can reference them from any Data Connector in the module that needs to use them.

If you need to update the credentials for a target application, make the change in the relevant Service Authentication object and every linked Data Connector will use the new details automatically.

To add a Service Authentication object to an App Module:

1. Navigate to   > Settings > App Modules.
2. Find the required App Module in the list, and click on it to open it.
3. Navigate to the Service Authentication tab.

4. Click Add New Service Authentication.

   

5. Complete this information:
   • Component Name - The new of the Service Authentication object, for example name it to indicate the application whose credentials it holds.

   • Auth Type - select the authorization type from the drop down list You can choose from these options:

     • No Authorization - select this option if authentication isn’t required to access data, for example if connecting to a data source in Unifyr (as the portal user is already logged in)
     • Basic HTTP Authorization
     • Bearer
     • OAuth2
     • Authorization Token

     Authentication requirements are defined by the target application itself.

6. Complete the fields as applicable for the selected authorization type.

   

7. Click Save.
