11.2 REST GitHub Authentication Methods

NOTE:OpenText Identity Governance supports Cloud Bridge only in OpenText Identity Governance as a Service deployments.

If you use Cloud Bridge to collect data from your on-premises data centers, you must specify ordinals for the respective authentication method in the Cloud Bridge user interface (http://localhost (CBA IP address or DNS name):8080).

The GitHub account and permission collector supports two authentication types: Basic Auth and Access Token. The collector collects all organizations.

NOTE:You must have installed Cloud Bridge 1.10 to collect with the Rest connector 1.0.2.0000 version.

Log in to the Cloud Bridge URL, then specify the ordinal when adding credentials.
