Configuring Connections
A connection is a credential and configuration object that lets Celigo communicate with an external system. Every export and import references a connection via _connectionId. Connections must be created before the resources that use them.
Concerns when configuring a connection:
- Authentication -- choosing the right auth method (OAuth, token, basic, key-pair, certificate, etc.) and providing the correct credentials
- Concurrency -- how many parallel requests Celigo can make to the target system (
concurrencyLevel). Can be shared across connections via_borrowConcurrencyFromConnectionId - Health monitoring -- ping configuration to verify connectivity and detect credential expiration (
offlinestatus) - Pre-built connectors -- HTTP connectors and trading partner connectors provide pre-configured auth, base URLs, and endpoint definitions for 550+ applications
- Debug logging -- temporary debug mode to capture raw request/response data for troubleshooting
- iClients -- reusable credential stores shared across connections: an OAuth app registration (client ID/secret, scopes, token endpoints) or a cloud identity (AWS IAM role, Azure service principal, Google service account). See iClients section below.
