Authentication
Overview
Authentication connections are used by Integration Connections to connect to the source repositories.
Authentication connectors are reusable. Instead of writing the auth configuration into every repository / output connector, we can set the authentication configuration in one authentication connector and use it with multiple connectors.
The Authentication page allows users to see a list of all available Authentication Connections. Users can filter the list by who created the connector by selecting the user name from the created by drop down. You can also search for connectors using the search field. This field will search connector names and description for matching results. You can also sort by name and description. Use the show drop down to expand or limit the number of authentications that show on the page. Use the page numbers at the bottom to move from one page to the next.
