Configuring Connections

A connection is a credential and configuration object that lets Celigo communicate with an external system. Every export and import references a connection via _connectionId. Connections must be created before the resources that use them.

Concerns when configuring a connection:

• Authentication -- choosing the right auth method (OAuth, token, basic, key-pair, certificate, etc.) and providing the correct credentials
• Concurrency -- how many parallel requests Celigo can make to the target system (concurrencyLevel). Can be shared across connections via _borrowConcurrencyFromConnectionId
• Health monitoring -- ping configuration to verify connectivity and detect credential expiration (offline status)
• Pre-built connectors -- HTTP connectors and trading partner connectors provide pre-configured auth, base URLs, and endpoint definitions for 550+ applications
• Debug logging -- temporary debug mode to capture raw request/response data for troubleshooting
• iClients -- reusable OAuth credential stores (client ID/secret, scopes, token endpoints) shared across connections. See iClients section below.

Used across flows, APIs, and tools.
