# Create a REST credential for Infoblox activities

All Infoblox activities require a REST credential to manage IP addresses from the Infoblox DDI server.

## Before you begin

Before starting this procedure, make sure you have the following:

-   A properly configured and running Infoblox DDI Grid Server.
-   REST credentials defined on the Infoblox DDI server.

Role required: admin

## About this task

You must create a REST credential record on the ServiceNow instance that each Infoblox activity can use to access management features on the Infoblox server.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Orchestration** > **Credentials** and click **New**.

2.  In the list of credential types, select **Basic Auth Credentials**.

3.  Create the credential record with a logical name, such as **InfobloxCred**.

4.  Right-click in the header bar of your new credential record and select **Copy sys\_id** from the context menu.

    Follow browser instructions to copy the sys\_id if browser security measures restrict this function.

5.  Paste the sys\_id into the **restCredentials** input field of each activity you use.
