EAS credentials not the same as luminis credentials

Hello,

My External application system credentials only needs the university user id - i.e NSU0066666 - to login to the web application.

However in the Connector XML file I need to send some
credentials usually the ${_CPUSERNAME} and ${_password}variables. But the external application just needs the University id.

My question is: how do I make the connector talk to the application via the credentials when they are not the same?

Thanks for your Help.

Re: EAS credentials

I can think of 2 ways to do this.

Method 1 - Let Users enter their own credentials

To allow users to set their own credentials, we used the following config property:
es.[cpip/gcf connector name].autosync true
This might work, depending on if your users know their ID. Also, it will ask for a password and in your case it doesn't sound like you need one. That might be confusing.

Method 2 - Update the EA Username to the Spriden_Id

If you can find an automated way to update the user's external account info you could set the username to the Spriden_id. This is the cptool command to do so:
cptool set user [username] ExternalAccount "[cpip/gcf connector name]|[Spriden_Id]|[password]"
But that is more of a one-by-one approach. I'm not sure how to automate it.
