Vault Connection Setup

Now that you've created an Service Account profile with the needed permissions, to connect Vault. Inform your partner and they will review the connection and activate the connection. Once connection is activate, you should see a "connected" status indicating your integration is all set.

If the service account needs modification, you will be instructed to try again, with the same account details provided to you!

Trouble Authenticating

Our recommendation is to delete the created User and restart the process from "Connect the Service Account User to the Service Account Profile". ADP often can run into issues when updating the information of the prior service user, so we recommend starting from scratch.
