Creating a Brinqa connection​

​

Using Username & Password​

To create the connection you need:

• An API Address
• A Username
• A Password
• A MFA Code

​

Obtaining the credentials​

Password is the password assigned to the user record in the Brinqa Platform.

In case your user is configured with single sign-on (SSO) authentication, you can edit the user record and set a password specifically for token generation. Alternatively, you can create a new user designated to generate tokens. Either way, your SSO username and password remain unaffected.

If you have multi-factor authentication (MFA) enabled, enter your MFA code in the MFA Code connection parameter.

​

2. Select the Brinqa icon. A dialog box with name of the connection and connection methods appear.
