Important Note

The Technical account ID and Private Key parameters are only required if you use JWT authentication. However, this authentication method might not work as by the time you connect this adapter, it might be deprecated. Therefore, we recommend using the OAuth Server-to-server authentication method. For more information, see OAuth Server-to-Server credential implementation guide.

Optional Parameters

  1. Verify SSL - Select whether to verify the SSL certificate of the server against the CA database inside of Axonius. For more details, see SSL Trust & CA Settings.
