Power BI Connector for Certinia

Build 25.0.9454

CredentialsLocation

Specifies the file path where the OKTA MFA token is stored for authentication.

Data Type

string

Default Value

"EMPTYSTRING"

Remarks

When using OKTA MFA authentication, the retrieved token is short-lived and typically expires after two hours. Once expired, the connector requests a new MFA passcode, requiring a refreshed connection.

This property defines where the token is saved and read from to persist authentication across connections. By default, the token is stored at: "%APPDATA%\\CData\\Salesforce Data Provider\\CredentialsFile.txt". The %APPDATA% variable resolves to different system locations depending on your operating system:

Platform %APPDATA%
Windows The value of the APPDATA environment variable
Mac ~/.config
Linux ~/.config

Setting a custom credentials location can be useful for managing authentication across multiple environments or securing tokens in a controlled directory. However, ensure that the file is accessible to the driver and is not inadvertently deleted between sessions.
