You can also click on the .sact file in Project Explorer to configure the authentication settings.

The REST API Browser will be populated with the Centerprise’s Server APIs, which you can use in your dataflow.

5. Right-click on the Centerprise_Server object and select Properties.

Note: You will have to regenerate the token if the validity period has expired.
