Authentication methods and fields

Pick one of these under Authentication Method on the connection wizard's Authentication step. This table is generated from the integration catalog, so it always matches what the form actually asks for.

Custom - Sandbox Avalara username, Avalara password (secret), For Testing Sandbox

Manage this integration with Terraform

Connections for this integration can be managed as code with the Relyance Terraform provider. Non-secret fields go in auth.params; secret fields go in auth.secrets_wo, which is write-only — never stored in Terraform state. Rotate secrets by bumping auth.secrets_wo_version.

Username & password

resource "relyance_integration_connection" "avalara_0" {
  vendor = "avalara"
  name   = "<your connection name>"

  auth = {
    method = "username-password"
    params = {
      username = "<username>"
      data_storage_location = "us"
    }
    # Secret fields are write-only: sent to Relyance, never stored in state.
    secrets_wo = {
      password = var.avalara_password
    }
    secrets_wo_version = 1
  }

  scans = { "property-inspection" = { enabled = true } }
}
