Authenticating a workflow connection

After installing the Concert Workflows add-on, you must establish connections with the supported external tools and services you want to use in your automated workflow.

Note: Connections supported by the Concert workflows add-on are different than the standard Concert integrations. The process for authorizing connections to use for Concert workflows is different than the process for authorizing connections with standard integrations for use in automation rules or data ingestion jobs.

Before you begin

  • You must install Concert workflows add-on to an OCP cluster or virtual machine. Refer to Installing Concert Workflows for instructions.
  • You must have the credentials required to authenticate a connection with the external tool or service.

Instructions

Refer to the following instructions to establish a connection with an external tool or service supported by the Concert workflows add-on.

  1. In the Concert UI, click Workflows in the main navigation.
  2. Click Authentications.
  3. Click Create authentication.
  4. Enter a name for the authenticated connection.

  6. Select an external service from the drop-down menu.
  7. Based on your selected service, enter the details and credentials required to establish the connection.
  8. Click Test authentication to validate the connection.
