Creating credentials
A credential object specifies the user authentication information required to access
an SFTP server or another application. If multiple input devices or steps use the
same credentials, you can specify the user authentication information once in the
Credential object and then select that credential in the step or input device that
needs it.
- Click the Administration tab.
- Under Objects, click Credentials.
- Click
in the top right corner, and select the type of credential object to create:- Credentials for input device object
-
- Password
- Password credentials use a user name and password for authentication.
- SSH Key
- SSH key credentials require a private key in OpenSSL (traditional SSLeay) or PKCS#8 format. Different utility programs to generate SSH keys are available on each operating system.
- Credentials for data transmitter object
-
- Static
- Static credentials use an authorization code to connect to an application. A user or application can use the same credential repeatedly.
- Session
- Session credentials use a password to connect to an application and retrieve temporary authentication data, such as a token. The token is valid for the current communication session with the application and then it expires.
- Credentials for AI connection object
- Amazon Bedrock Credential
- The Amazon Bedrock credential securely connects to Amazon Bedrock using AWS authentication. To authenticate requests, you must provide AWS credentials and configuration details associated with an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) identity. These values are used to sign API requests and determine access permissions.
- Fill in the values as needed and click OK.
- Note:
- You can export entries from the Credentials table to a Comma-Separated Values (CSV)
file. Click the
button in the top right corner of the page and select Export table to CSV. The entries are sorted by name.
