Adding accounts

A connector account contains information that is required to connect to the third-party system. For example, consider a connector that integrates an application with JIRA services. In this case, a tenant administrator should create a connector account that consists of the JIRA account user credentials.

Important

If a connector does not need authentication to connect to the third-party system, you do not need to create the connector account. For example, connectors for third-party services such as TrueSight Operations Management, Nagios, and SMTP Email contain the authentication information in their connector configurations. You do not need a connector account to use such connectors.

Important

  • For the Remedyforce, Salesforce, and Salesforce Service Cloud connectors, you can use sandbox accounts if the configuration type of these connectors is set to Sandbox. For more information about the sandbox configuration type, see Adding-or-updating-a-configuration.
  • If the user account defined for the connector has expired when the connector is started in flow, the expired user account is not reauthorized and is available in the list of available accounts.
