I am trying to trigger a machine flow using the BPA in flow. I followed the below instructions. I am not clear about the username password that I need to enter here. Is is username password for ifsapp in ifs cloud? or Novacura machine user IAM client user for novacura created in IFS cloud?

Hi Ashen,

The username and password are refereeing to the machine user credentials on the Flow server. When you think of it, the HTTP requests is sent from IFS to the Flow server, hence it’s in the Flow server authentication happens 🙂
