Create a credential to enable secure authentication for Card Data Security integrations. This
credential authenticates your ServiceNow instance with the tokenizer service gateway.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

For card network integrations (Visa, Mastercard), this task requires an OAuth Provider created for Card Data Security. See [Set up an OAuth Provider](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/kGLWBKq1cSjYhVmMZRlbkQ "Configure an OAuth provider to enable secure authentication between ServiceNow and a third-party tokenizer service for Card Data Security. This setup establishes the necessary connection credentials and JWT configuration required for secure data tokenization operations.") for more information.

For Verifi integration, this task requires the unique API key provided by the tokenizer service during connection setup.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllIntegration HubConnections \& CredentialsCredentials.
2. Select New.
3. Select the credential type.
   * For card network integration, select OAuth 2.0 Credentials.
   * For Verifi integration, select API Key Credentials.

   | Field | Value |
   | Name | \<Name of the OAuth 2.0 credential\> |
   | OAuth Entity Profile | \<The default profile from the OAuth Provider created for Card Data Security\> |

   For Verifi integration, enter the following field values.

   | Field | Value |
   | API Key | \<The unique API key provided by the tokenizer service during connection setup\> |

   {#set-up-an-oauth-credential__choicetable_g1q_vb4_kjc}
5. Select Submit.

## What to do next

For Verifi integration, see [Set up the Verifi Connection \& Credential Alias](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/K~K86JzM3hOhQOXdc85RDA "For Verifi integrations, set up a dedicated Verifi connection alias for Card Data Security operations.").

For card network integration, see [Set up the API REST message](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/2svS20YwjGOREMTlEZB2Dw "Configure the API REST message for your integration. This step points outbound REST messages to the correct tokenizer service endpoint.").
