In the Browse App Catalog modal, select an application, and click Next. 3. Review the Application Integration information, and click Next. 4. In the Application Details window, specify the name, description, application owners, and logo for the application. 5. To make the application an [Authoritative](../applications.html#target_and_authoritative_applications) source of identity data, select the Authoritative check box. This option is not available for every application. 6. Click Create Application. ## Configure provisioning 1. In the Advanced Identity Cloud admin console, on the Provisioning tab, click Set up Provisioning: * If setting up provisioning for the first time: 1. If you have not configured a remote server, click New Connector Server and follow the steps to create a server. 2. If you configured one remote server, it's automatically selected. 3. If you configured multiple remote servers, choose a server. * When editing existing settings in the Connection area, click Settings. 2. Follow the steps on the Set up CSV modal. 3. Click Next. 4. In the Account CSV area, configure the following fields: | Field | Description | | ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Name | The naming attribute in the CSV file. | | CSV File | The full file path to the CSV file that's the data source for the account object type. The path uses the file location format `/opt/data/file.csv`. | | UID Column | The UID column name in the CSV file and the primary search key. The default value is `uid`. | | Password Column | The password column name in the CSV file. The default is `password`. | | Multivalued Attributes | IDs of attributes for this object type that are multivalued. | 5. Optionally, you can define additional object types that point to other CSV files. For each object type to add, click [icon: plus, set=fa]Add Object Type, and configure the following fields: | Field | Description | | ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | ID | The unique identifier for this object type. | | Name | The naming attribute in the CSV file. | | CSV File | The full file path to the CSV file that's the data source for the account object type. The path uses the file location format `/opt/data/file.csv`. | | UID Column | The UID column name in the CSV file; the primary search key. The default value is `uid`. | | Multivalued Attributes | IDs of attributes for this object type that are multivalued. | 6. Optionally, click Show advanced settings to set any of the following options: **Application specific settings** | Field | Description | | --------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Quote Character | The character used to enclose values.
