Connector Credentials Overview

Each Connector installation will require a number of credential files to be supplied to the instance of the Connector that provides the details on how to authenticate to the source system and also how to make the prepared files available to the specific EnergySys instance.


Credentials files are uploaded into the Connector via the Manage Credentials screen.


There are 7 different type of Credential files but your connector installation will not need all of them. With the exception of the S3 Credentials file, which can be requested from EnergySys, the Credentials files will need to be prepared by the requesting customer for their use in the Connector. The linked documents contain templates for each of the file types.
