Snap-Account Compatibility

Snaps in the REST Snap Pack work with different accounts and protocols per the following table.

Configuring REST Accounts

You can configure your REST accounts in SnapLogic using either the Designer or Manager. 

• Using SnapLogic Designer

• Using SnapLogic Manager

Using SnapLogic Designer

Drag a REST Snap to the Canvas and click the Snap to open its settings. Click the Account tab. You can either use an existing account or create a new one.

Selecting an existing account

SnapLogic organizes and displays all accounts to which you have access, sorting them by account type and location. To select an existing account:

1. Click the 

    icon to view the accounts to which you have access and select the account to use.
   
   

2. Click 

   . 

Creating an account

1. Click Add Account in the Account Reference dialog.
   
   

2. Select the Location in which you want to create the account, select the account type, and click Continue. The Add Account dialog associated with the account type appears..

   
   
   

3. Enter the required account details. For detailed guidance on configuring each account type, click the following links:

   • REST AWS SigV4 Account
   • REST Basic Auth Account
   • REST Dynamic OAuth2 Account
   • REST In-memory OAuth2 Account
   • REST OAuth1 Account
   • REST OAuth2 Account
   • REST OAuth2 SSL Account
   • REST NTLM Account
   • REST SSL Account

4. Click Validate to verify the account, if the account type supports validation.
   
   

5. Click Apply to complete configuring the REST account.

Using SnapLogic Manager

Use SnapLogic Manager to create accounts without associating them immediately with Pipelines.

1. In the left pane, browse to the project in which you want to create the account and click Create > Account > REST, followed by the appropriate account type.

   
   The Create Account dialog associated with the selected account type appears.
   
   

2. Repeat the steps numbered 3 through 5 in Creating an account above.
