## Setup overview in OData connector configuration

See Setup for obtaining required in information before configuring authentication.

### Setup

#### Access Token URL

Get A**ccess token URL** value from IFS Cloud.

{% content-ref url="/pages/pehKlFbKxppGwLyn2F5y" %}
[Obtaining Authentication related URLs from IFS Cloud](/flow-ifs-cloud-development-guidelines/flow-development-with-odata/configuration/authentication-models/obtaining-authentication-related-urls-from-ifs-cloud.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

#### IFS IAM Client details (Client ID and Client Secret)

Create IAM client like in example.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
Name IAM client so that it can be identified as being used by Flow. Also adding postfix describing authentication type would be a good idea.

Example name: NC\_Flow\_PwCredentials, Novacura\_PwCredentials
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Use same name for same type of IAM client in all customers IFS Cloud instances.
{% endhint %}

From saved IAM client, copy

* **Client ID** (character size matters, NC\_FlowPassCred is not the same as NC\_FLOWPASSCRED) to OData connectors *Client ID* and
* generated **Secret** to OData connectors *Client Secret.*

#### Scope(s)

Set default value of **openid microprofile-jwt** to OData connectors *Scope(s)*.

## Flow Server User Setup

Add IFS user id to flow users connector specific setup.
