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.

​
