## Adding Discovery Connector in SailPoint

Discovery connectors have categories that encompass a group of discovery sources to find enterprise applications. You can automatically discover enterprise applications using discovery sources, which search for applications your organization has on-boarded or can on-board. For more information, refer to [Discovering Enterprise Applications](<https://documentation.sailpoint.com/saas/help/ai/app_onboarding/app_discovery.html#discovering-applications-automatically>).

1. Go to **Admin \> Connections \> Discovery Connectors**.
2. Select **Create Connector**.
3. Select **Connector Category**.
4. Select **Continue**.
5. Search for a source type and select **Configure**.
6. Review the directions and select **Start Connector Setup**.
7. Review the pre-populated source name, source owner, and description. To update, select **Edit**.

   > **Note**
   >
   > Source name must be unique.
8. (Optional) If enabled for your organization, select the **Use a Credential Provider** checkbox to manage the source's authentication using a credential provider.

   > **Note**
   >
   > To add a Credential Provider in SailPoint, go to **Admin \> Connections \> Credential Providers**. For more information about credential providers, refer to [Credential Providers](<https://documentation.sailpoint.com/connectors/help/credential_providers.html>).
9. Select **Finish**. A test connection is performed in the background.
10. If the test connection is successful, your source is created, and you are prompted to run a discovery.

    - If you want to discover applications now, select **Discover**.

      - **Additional Settings \> Discovery Settings** - The latest application discovery history is shown.
      - **Additional Settings \> Discovery Activity** - Discovered applications are listed.
    - If you want to discover applications later, select **Cancel**. As no discovery has taken place, in the source details:

      - **Additional Settings \> Discovery Settings** - The latest application discovery history is blank.
      - **Additional Settings \> Discovery Activity** - No discovered applications are listed.

      You are navigated to the **Sources** page, where the source created is listed.

## Base Configuration

Provide the base configuration parameters. Information you entered in the Connector Setup dialog is automatically entered into the fields in the Base Configuration page. You can edit this information, if necessary.

> [!NOTE]

1. Enter a descriptive **Connector Name** for the connection.
2. Enter the **Description** that provides details necessary to distinguish it from similar connection sources.
3. In **Connector Owner**, enter the name of the owner responsible for administrating, operating and managing the source system.
