Now it's time to configure authentication. Firstly, configure authentication settings in FastSpring service and then proceed by configuring API Connection Manager. Start by expanding an authentication type:

API Credentials

FastSpring authentication

Here is how to obtain FastSpring API credentials:

In the FastSpring portal, navigate to Developer Tools > APIs > API Credentials.
Click Create, FastSpring will automatically generate your Username and Password. Copy them, we will need them in the next step:
WARNING: Securely store the credentials for future reference.
Now go to SSIS package or ODBC data source and use this token in API Credentials authentication configuration:
- In the UserName field paste the Username value you copied in the previous step.
- In the Password field paste the Password value you copied in the previous step.
Click Test Connection to confirm the connection is working.
Done! Now you are ready to use FastSpring Connector!

Just perform these simple steps to finish authentication configuration:

Set Authentication Type to API Credentials [Http]
Optional step. Modify API Base URL if needed (in most cases default will work).
Fill in all the required parameters and set optional parameters if needed.
Finally, hit OK button:
