The Self-Managed Authentication feature allows LMS Administrators to securely manage authentication credentials for iPaaS integrations within the Absorb LMS platform. This reduces delays during setup and maintenance, while also aligning with best security practices by keeping sensitive credentials under your control.

How to Set Up Authentication in the LMS

To use this feature, you must be a System Admin with access to Client Settings.

If your organization has the iPaaS Connector enabled, you’ll see a new Connectors card on your Client Settings page.

After signing in to the Admin Experience, you can follow the steps below from the Client Settings page to add a new connection:

1. Click the Connectors Card to open the authentication modal. You’ll see a list of available iPaaS connections.
   
    
2. Expand a connection by clicking the down arrow to expand the integration and review the instance. 
   
3. Click the Pencil Icon to expand the setup menu.
   
4. Depending on the Connector, you will either need to fill out the required fields in the Connector modal, or click on the Connect button to open a new window on the Connector website and fill out the required information there. If you fill out the required fields in the Connector window, click Connect once done to complete the connection.
