Choose the desired Connector from the list to create a new connection.
The Connect To page is opened. Check the documentation for the needed connector for more information on how to configure the connection. Check the Integration Service user guide for more information on individual connectors.

You can choose between the following connection types:
- Client Certificate Authentication
