| 2 | +The corresponding {{ site.data.product.title_short }} plugin supports IBM CIC **v1.4.4 or higher**. |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +Complete the following procedure to add an IBM CIC cloud provider in |
| 5 | +{{ site.data.product.title_short }}. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +1. Browse to menu: **Compute > Clouds > Providers**. |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +2. Click **Configuration**, then click |
| 10 | +  (**Add a New Cloud Provider**). |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +3. From the **Type** list, select **IBM CIC**. |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +4. Enter a **Name** for the provider. |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +5. Select the appropriate **Zone**. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +6. Enter the CIC region in **Provider Region**. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +7. Select the appropriate **Domain ID**. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +8. (Optional) Enable tenant mapping by toggling the **Tenant Mapping Enabled** |
| 23 | + option to **On**. This synchronizes resources and users between the IBM |
| 24 | + CIC provider and {{ site.data.product.title_short }}. By default, |
| 25 | + tenant mapping is disabled. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +9. Under **Endpoints**, in the **Default** tab: |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | + 1. Select a **Security Protocol** method to specify how to authenticate the provider: |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | + - **SSL without validation**: Authenticate the provider insecurely |
| 32 | + using SSL. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | + - **SSL**: Authenticate the provider securely using a trusted |
| 35 | + Certificate Authority. Select this option if the provider has a |
| 36 | + valid SSL certificate and it is signed by a trusted Certificate |
| 37 | + Authority. No further configuration is required for this option. |
| 38 | + This is the recommended authentication method. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | + - **Non-SSL**: Connect to the provider insecurely using only |
| 41 | + HTTP protocol, without SSL. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | + 2. In **CIC API Endpoint (Hostname or IPv4/IPv6 address)**, enter the |
| 44 | + public IP or fully qualified domain name of the CIC API endpoint. |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | + 3. In **API Port**, set the public port used by the CIC API. By |
| 47 | + default, CIC is configured to use port 5000. |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | + 4. In the **API Username** field, enter the name of a user in the CIC |
| 50 | + environment. |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | + <div class="important"> |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | + The user must have the **admin** role for the relevant domain. |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | + </div> |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | + 5. In the **API Password** field, enter the password for the user. |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | + 6. Click **Validate** to confirm {{ site.data.product.title_short }} can |
| 61 | + connect to the CIC provider. |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +11. Click **Add**. |
