## Authentication Methods

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="OAuth">
    <Steps>
      <Step>
        Enter the **OAuth Client Id** assigned when you registered your Gmail account.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Enter the **OAuth Client Secret** for your Gmail account.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Click **Sign in with Google** to connect securely through OAuth. This action opens the Gmail sign-in page on a new tab.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Log in to your Gmail account.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        At the top of the Connect AI **Add {title_0} Connection** page, click **Save & Test**.

        * If the connection test succeeds, a **Connection successfully saved** message appears, indicating that your connection has been created. The **Status** on the **Edit Connection** page also changes to **Authenticated**. View the data model of your successful connection in the right pane of the **Edit Connection** page, in the **Data Model** tab.
        * If the connection test fails, ensure that you entered your login information correctly with no stray spaces or other characters. Connect AI displays error messages under the required fields with missing data. Some data sources require that you sign in directly to the source website. If you did not, an error message appears under the **Sign in** button. Correct the errors and try again.
        * Unsuccessful connections are saved as drafts and have a **Status** of **Not Authenticated**. You can return to the connection and authenticate it later.
      </Step>
    </Steps>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="OAuthJwt">
    <Steps>
      <Step>
        Enter your **OAuth JWT Cert**. This is a multi-line key.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Enter your **OAuth JWT Subject**. This must be set to the email address of the user whose data you want to access. The account must also be part of a GSuite domain.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        At the top of the Connect AI **Add {title_1} Connection** page, click **Save & Test**.

        * If the connection test succeeds, a **Connection successfully saved** message appears, indicating that your connection has been created.
