(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, go to **Admin \> Connections \> Credential Providers**. For more information about credential providers, refer to [Credential Providers](). 5. Configure the authentication to allow SailPoint to connect to the source. Refer to [Connection Settings](<#connection-settings>) for more information. 6. (Optional) In the **Governance Group for Source Management** dropdown list, select a governance group to associate with this source. For more information about governance groups, refer to [Associating Governance Groups with a Source](). 7. (Optional) Choose whether to enable or disable provisioning for the source. Provisioning is disabled by default. - **Enable Provisioning** - Set the toggle to **Enabled** to allow the source to create, update, and deactivate accounts in the connected source system. - **Disable Provisioning** - Set the toggle to **Disabled** to disable provisioning for the source. Disabling provisioning will prevent the creation, updating, or deactivating of accounts on this source. 8. Select **Save**. > [!NOTE] > > Ensure that the name and description of each source is unique. ## Connection Settings Provide the information required for SailPoint to connect and interact with RSA Authentication Manager. > [!NOTE] > > On installation of RSA Authentication Manager, the system creates a command client user name and password for secure connections to the command server. This user name and password are randomly generated on creation, and are unique to each deployment. > [!NOTE] > > **Screenshot** > > [![Connection Settings]()]() 1. In the **Service Account** field, enter the name of the service account used by the administrator to connect to RSA Authentication Manager server. 2.

To obtain this information, refer to [Obtaining the Command Client User and Password](). 4. Enter the **Hostname or IP Address**. You can validate the host name of the RSA authentication manager provided in source configuration during TLS communication using the REST API. To validate the hostname, set the `enableHostNameVerification` attribute to true. > **Note** > > For more information on SailPoint's REST APIs, refer to [Best Practices: REST API Authentication]() and [REST API - Update Source (Partial)]() in the SailPoint Developer Community. 5. Enter the **Port** number. 6. Select **Save**. ## Account Settings Specify the Accounts' scope that will be managed by the configured source. > [!NOTE] > > **Screenshot** > > [![Account settings]()]() > > [![Account settings]()]() > > [![Account settings]()]() > > [![Delta Aggregation]()]() 1. Specify the name of the **Realm**. A realm is an organizational unit that includes all of the objects managed within a single deployment, such as users and user groups, tokens, passwords, and agents. 2. Specify the **Identity Source** for the realm. An identity source is a repository that contains user and user group data. Each user and user group in a deployment is associated with an identity source. For the most up-to-date information, refer to [RSA Authentication Manager Identity Sources]() in the RSA documentation. 3. (*Optional*) Specify the **Security Domain** to manage.
