¶ Anaplan Autentication Types
In EAConnect, we utilize different Anaplan Authentication Types to establish secure connections with Anaplan. These authentication methods allow EAConnect to authenticate and authorize requests made to Anaplan's API using the appropriate credentials or certificates.
The two authentication methods available are:
- Basic Authentication
- Certificate Autentication
¶ Anaplan Connection - Basic Authentication
This connection configuration requires two parameter values:
- Anaplan User ID
- Anaplan User Password
Go to Build→Connection→Create New, select Anaplan Basic Authentication as Connection Type, then select Authentication Type as Basic Authentication and specify the values before saving it.
Once created, this connection can be used in configuring Anaplan Tasks (Upload, Import…).
Anaplan user used in connection configuration should have access to workspaces and models, and ideally should be set with the role of ‘Integration Admin’.
¶ Anaplan Connection - Certification Authentication
This connection configuration requires two parameter values:
- Anaplan Private Key
- Anaplan Public Key
Go to Build→Connection→Create New, select Anaplan Basic Authentication as Connection Type, then select Authentication Type as Certificate Authentication and specify the values before saving it.
For Certificate Authentication, the private and public keys must be in PEM format to ensure compatibility and security. It provides enhanced security by using a private key and certificate, which minimizes the risk of credential exposure and unauthorized access. This method ensures stronger access control and aligns with security compliance requirements for sensitive data.
