The authorization will differ based on the authentication type used while creating the custom connector. Let's consider a few examples:
Let's assume you have created a connection with a specific set of parameters and authorized it with an account name. When you try to create a new connection with the same set of parameters, you will be notified of the existing authorized account that you have previously used to access the service. You will be able to map the existing authorization that you have created.
Let's assume you have created a connection with a specific set of parameters and authorized it only for the development environment. After completing the development process and deploying the application to the stage environment, you need to authorize the connection. Follow the steps given below to authorize the connection for desired environment.
Navigate to the connection details page by clicking the connection card and click Authorize.
You can reuse the same credentials used in the development stage by selecting the Authorized Account from the dropdown and by clicking Reuse.
In order to authorize a connection with a different credential, click Link New Account.
Enter the Name of Authorization Account and select the environment where the authorization needs to be mandated. Click Authorize.
Reauthorizing a connection enables you to link a new account to the connection. Click the ellipsis icon and select Reauthorize. Provide the new account name and perform the subsequent steps (that depend on the third party authorization mechanism) to authorize. Following this, the existing authorization will cease to be effective and the new authorization will take effect.
Connection details provides information on the connection. On clicking the ellipsis icon and selecting Connection Details, you will view the following information:
The Connection Access section under Connection Details lists applications. You can enable access to those applications. By doing so, the connection will be available for those applications and you can create datasources using it.
