Connection and credential alias requirements
Integration Hub uses aliases to manage connection and credential information, and OAuth credentials. Using an alias eliminates the need to configure multiple credentials and connection information profiles when using multiple environments. If the connection or credential information changes, you don't need to update any actions that use the connection.
This spoke uses the Infoblox alias record to authorize actions.
| Connection & Credential alias | Description | Connection alias requirements |
|---|---|---|
| Infoblox | Connection to Infoblox server | - Connection type: HTTP - Connection URL: URL of the host machine where the Infoblox server is installed. |
To use the spoke connection alias, create an associated Connection record and an associated Credential record. For information about setting up the spoke, see Set up the Infoblox spoke.
MID Server requirements
These actions use REST calls, which must run on a MID Server. Use the connection record associated with the Infoblox alias to configure where actions run as well as set MID Server selection attributes. For more information, see MID server.
To set up the MID Server for this spoke, see Set up MID Server for a spoke.
