Configuring Authentication

You can authenticate your connection to Marketo by specifying an access token, or by providing your Marketo 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, you can configure your connection by providing those tokens.

To configure authentication with 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 Marketo Credentials

You can configure the connector to retrieve and use an OAuth 2.0 access token based on your Marketo credentials.

To retrieve 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 Client ID field, type the client ID associated with the Marketo application.
  3. In the Client Secret field, type the client secret.
  4. Click Get Access Token. An access token and refresh token are automatically generated and inserted into the appropriate fields in the DSN Setup dialog box.
  5. To save your settings and close the DSN Setup dialog box, click OK.
