Add configuration values for your connector's authentication
Some applications require users to perform additional configuration to authenticate to a service. For example, the Workflows AWS S3 connector provides both an Account ID unique to Okta and an External ID unique to the connection that must be copied into the trust policy of the associated Identity and Access Management role. See Authorization for AWS S3.
You can create and present these IDs in the optional Config Values section of the Authentication page.
