Overview
When creating certain connections, you can specify which API client credentials you want to use for the connection. These credentials are used to get an Access Token required to access your platform account. You should consult your system administrator about which platform credentials should be used for your connection.
Use the System Default Client Credentials
This option creates the connection using the default DryvIQ client application credentials.
Use Custom Client Credentials
This option allows you to use custom client credentials provided by your administrator. When selected, two additional fields will be available to enter the credentials: Client ID and Client Secret. You'll use these fields to enter the Client ID and Client Secret for your platform account. DryvIQ will use this information to access the platform.
