5.   Under Credential Name, give the credential an identifiable name (e.g. PAN Strata Credentials). If you already have a credential in place, select it from the drop-down menu.
6.   In the Connector tag field, enter a random value. This value will act as the salt to randomize the unique Token you’ll download in the next step.
7.   Click Add Connector.
