Connector Types

Connector type determines how you get access to external applications.

• Client Credentials - The simplest authentication type for API keys, basic auth, or custom tokens
• OAuth2 - Standard protocol for third-party authorization without sharing credentials
• OAuth1 - Older authorization protocol with signature-based request authentication (rarely used)
• Proxy - Authenticates with parameters provided by Membrane (so you don't have to register your own OAuth apps). Available only for some applications.
• Membrane Token - Uses Membrane's token system - typically used for internal connectors or services that are aware of Membrane.

If not sure which one to pick, go with "Client Credentials" for simple API authentication or "OAuth2" for user-specific access.
