What happens if I edit an Authentication object?
The credentials securely stored in an Authentication object, such as an account password, can be updated here and referenced throughout the system.
From the point of update, all areas of the system where the Authentication object is used will effectively be updated, so any change to these details should be carefully scheduled.
Update an Authentication object
Start at the Authentication objects list and find the Authentication object you wish to update. The list is ordered in descending ID number by default. However, the list filter will help you find the correct one if you have configured a large number of objects.
Select Edit in the Actions menu.
You'll note that some details have been replaced by asterisks (****). This is simply to add an extra security layer, but clearly only Super Admin and Config Admin users with the appropriate role permissions will be able to access this area of the system.
Important: The provider field will be greyed out so that it cannot be amended.
When you click into the other configuration fields, the data is cleared.
Having entered updated configuration details, save the Authentication object so that the update is applied throughout the system.
Note
If the Username and Password in an Autologyx internal authentication object is replaced with a new/different user's details, there is a delay before the new credentials are used. Tokens are refreshed every 24 hours, so the sequencer will continue to use the old credentials until the current token expires.
