Add configuration values for connector authentication
Some applications require users to perform extra configuration to authenticate to a service.
For example, the AWS S3 connector provides both an Account ID unique to Okta and an External ID unique to the connection. These 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 using the optional Config Values section of the Authentication page.
