Credentials are required for Azure AD to connect to the application's user management API. While you're configuring automatic user provisioning for an application, you need to enter valid credentials. For gallery applications, you can find credential types and requirements for the application by referring to the app tutorial. For non-gallery applications, you can refer to the [SCIM](./use-scim-to-provision-users-and-groups.md#authorization-to-provisioning-connectors-in-the-application-gallery) documentation to understand the credential types and requirements. In the Azure portal, you are able to test the credentials by having Azure AD attempt to connect to the app's provisioning app using the supplied credentials.
