## Intel471 Credentials

### Credentials

The integration authenticates to the Intel471 Credentials API with HTTP Basic auth:

* **Username** — API username
* **Password** — API key

### Obtaining API credentials

1. Sign in to the [Intel471 Developer Portal](https://developer.intel471.com/) using your organization SSO account (or sign up if this is your first visit).
2. Confirm that your organization has an active subscription that grants access to the Credentials Intelligence product. If it does not, contact your Intel471 account manager to enable it.
3. In the portal, open **API Keys** (under your account menu) and click **Create new API key**.
4. Copy the generated **username** and **API key** — the API key is shown only once.
5. In Cortex, open the Intel471 Credentials integration instance and paste the values into the **Username** and **Password** fields, then save and test the instance.
