Avoid changing account credentials when Pipelines using them are in progress. This might lead to unexpected results, including locking the account.
Configure the Azure Active Directory Account Using the SnapLogic Manager
You can use Manager to create accounts without associating them immediately with Pipelines.
Accounts in SnapLogic are associated with projects. You can use accounts created in other projects only if you have Read access to them.
In the left pane, browse to the project where you want to create the account.
From the Accounts tab, click
> Account > Azure Active Directory, followed by the appropriate account type. The Create Account dialog associated with the selected account type displays.
Repeat steps 3 through 5 in the Create an account section.
Enter additional information on this account in the Notes field of the Info tab. This will help you and other users understand the purpose of the account, especially if there are multiple accounts of the same type.
Account Encryption
The Encryption Settings for an Org determine which Account fields a Snaplex will encrypt:
Standard Encryption - The default encryption setting. With Standard Encryption, the Client Secret value is encrypted.
Enhanced Encryption - Organizations using self-managed Snaplexes (Groundplexes) can subscribe to Enhanced Encryption. The Org admin sets encryption sensitivity to be one of the following:
High: Encrypts passwords and secret keys.
Medium and High: Encrypts usernames, passwords, and secret keys.
Low, Medium, and High: Encrypts hostname, database names, database URL properties, usernames, passwords, and secret keys.
Standard Encryption | This is the default setting for any Org. If you are using Standard Encryption, the High sensitivity settings under Enhanced Encryption are followed. | |
|---|---|---|
Enhanced Encryption | For this Account type, with Enhanced Encryption, the fields encrypted depend on the sensitivity set for the Org. Org admins for Orgs with self-managed Snaplexes (Groudplexes) that subscribe to Enhanced encryption, can set encryption sensitivity to one of the following as provided below. For this Account type, with Enhanced Encryption, the fields encrypted depend on the sensitivity set for the Org.
