Purpose

Configure and manage external credential providers (e.g., badging vendors) and map your platform-issued credentials to those providers so credentials are issued externally while remaining managed within your platform.


Where to Find It

  1. Click your tenant name.
  2. Go to Advanced.
  3. Scroll to the bottom to find:
    • Provider Configuration
    • Credential Mapping

Provider Configuration

Use this to add, edit, enable/disable, or delete an external provider.

Add or Edit a Provider

  1. Open Provider Configuration.
  2. Enter:
    • Provider name
    • Configuration (provider-specific settings)
    • Enabled (toggle on/off)
  3. Click Save.

Notes

  • Editing looks the same as adding, except fields are pre-filled.
  • You can delete providers you no longer need.
  • Enabled providers appear in the mapping step.

Map Credentials to an External Provider

Once a provider is configured, map platform credentials to the provider’s templates.

Create the Mapping

  1. Open Credential Mapping.
  2. Select:
    • Credential
      • From the list created in your platform (typically from the course overview page)
    • Provider
    • External Template ID
      • The credential/template ID from the provider
  3. (Optional) Add:
    • Group ID
    • Additional metadata
  4. Click Save.

What’s Editable

  • Credential name and provider are fixed after creation.
  • Optional fields (e.g., group ID, metadata, external template ID) can be added or updated.

How Issuance Works

  • The credential is created and managed in your platform.
  • The mapping links it to the external provider’s template.
  • When issued, the credential is issued by the external provider using that mapping.

Result

You can self-manage external credential providers and seamlessly issue credentials through them—without duplicating workflows or leaving the platform.
