![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Configure the Connection \& Credential records for Card Data Security.
This establishes the primary outbound connection that routes requests from ServiceNow to external APIs via the tokenizer service.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

For Verifi integration, this requires a JWT provider created from the procedure in [Set up a JWT Provider](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/NXylDHDLNMcK_FHGhdIIjw "Configure a JWT Provider to enable secure token-based authentication for Card Data Security by setting up signing configurations and claim values. This provider generates JSON Web Tokens that authenticate requests to the tokenizer service using credentials from your tokenizer service JSON file.").

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllIntegration HubConnections \& CredentialsConnection \& Credential Aliases.
2. Select the Connection \& Credential Alias record.
   * For card network integration, select CardDataSecurity.ServiceToken.
   * For Verifi integration, select Verifi.

3. In the Connections related list, select New.
4. For card network integration, enter the following field values.

   | Field | Value |
   | Name | \<Name of the HTTP(s) connection\> |
   | Connection URL | \<The tokenizer service endpoint URL i.e. the `tokenURI` value from the credentials JSON file\> |
   | vault_id Attribute | \<The vault ID of the tokenizer service data vault\> |
   |-|-|

   {#set-up-the-vault-api-connection__choicetable_v4f_gwy_23c}  
   For Verifi integration, enter the following field values.

   | Field | Value |
   | Name | \<Name of the HTTP(s) connection\> |
   | Connection URL | \<The tokenizer service endpoint URL designated for accessing Verifi APIs internally\> |
   | Issuer | \<The Issuer ID provided by Verifi\> |
   | JWT Provider | \<The JWT Provider created from the procedure in [Set up a JWT Provider](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/NXylDHDLNMcK_FHGhdIIjw "Configure a JWT Provider to enable secure token-based authentication for Card Data Security by setting up signing configurations and claim values. This provider generates JSON Web Tokens that authenticate requests to the tokenizer service using credentials from your tokenizer service JSON file.")\> |
   | API Version | \<The API version provided by Verifi, as necessary\> |
   |-|-|

   {#set-up-the-vault-api-connection__choicetable_jty_p14_kjc}
5. Select Submit.
6. For card network integration, repeat steps 2 through 5 for the CardDataSecurity.ClientToken and CardDataSecurity.DataTokenSigner records.

## Result

The Card Data Security connection records are configured.
