Associate a Credential Provider with a Source
To add an additional layer of security on the connection between IdentityNow and your sources, associate your sources with a credential provider. Credential providers regularly rotate authentication credentials where applicable. This provides a more secure authentication method than static values.
When you assign a credential provider to a source in IdentityNow, any authentication fields you need to configure allow you to use the credential provider or use static authentication credentials.
For information on creating a new credential provider, refer to Configure a Credential Provider.
To associate a source with a credential provider:
-
In IdentityNow, go to Admin > Connections > Sources.
-
Select the source you would like to associate with a credential provider.
-
Select Edit Configuration.
The source configuration displays in the Base Configuration tab.
-
In the Credential Provider downmenu, select a configured credential provider.
-
Select Save to associate the source with the selected credential provider.
