Configuring Authentication

You can authenticate your connection to Responsys by specifying an access token, or by providing your Responsys credentials so that the connector retrieves and uses the corresponding access token.

Configuring Authentication With an Access Token

If you already have a valid access token, specify it in your DSN so that the connector can use it to authenticate the connection.

To configure authentication using an access token:

  1. To access authentication options, open the ODBC Data Source Administrator where you created the DSN, select the DSN, and then click Configure.
  2. In the Access Token field, type or paste your access token.
  3. To save your settings and close the DSN Setup dialog box, click OK.

Configuring Authentication With Your Responsys Credentials

You can configure the connector to retrieve and use an access token based on your Responsys credentials.

To configure authentication using your Responsys credentials:

  1. To access authentication options, open the ODBC Data Source Administrator where you created the DSN, select the DSN, and then click Configure.
  2. In the Client ID field, type the user name that you use to access Responsys.
  3. In the Client Secret field, type the password corresponding to your user name.
  4. Click Get Access Token, and confirm that the Access Token field is populated in the DSN Setup dialog box.
  5. To save your settings and close the DSN Setup dialog box, click OK.
