Add a connection through the Connections
dashboard.
Before you begin
Role required: connection_admin or admin
Procedure
-
Navigate to and click the Connections tab.
-
Locate the alias you want to add a connection to and select Add
Connection.
If there isn't an Add Connection option, the alias
doesn't have a configuration template. To add a connection through the
dashboard, the parent alias must have a template. Not all aliases have templates. Templates were
first introduced in the Orlando release, so aliases from previous
versions may not have them yet. If yours doesn't, you can set up your alias through the platform user
interface instead. Select the Advanced Setup option to
get started. For more information, see Create a Connection and
Credential alias. To
learn more about templates, see Connection and
Credential configuration templates.
-
On the form, fill in the fields.
The fields that appear on the form depend on which configuration template the
parent alias has. For details on each specific template, visit Connection and
Credential configuration templates.
-
To submit the form, click Create Connection.
Result
The alias card displays the new connection under the Connections list.
