Authorization

When you add a Trend Micro card to a flow for the first time, Okta Workflows prompts you to configure the connection. This connection links to your Trend Micro account and saves your account information, so you can reuse this connection for future Trend Micro flows.

You can create multiple unique connections and manage them from the Connections page in the Okta Workflows Console.
