Before you begin:

- Enable the Beta connector through the feature manager. See [Enable Data 360 Features](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360\_a_feature_manager.htm\&type=5).
- Verify your admin has enabled firewalls on the system you want Data 360 to connect to by including these [IP addresses](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360\_a_data_cloud_ip_address_allowlist.htm\&type=5) to your allowlists.
- Set up [OAuth based authentication](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360\_a_setup_oauth_openid.htm\&type=5).
- Create [external and named credentials](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/data/data-cloud-int/guide/c360-a-adp-cred.md).

1. In Data Cloud, click **Setup**, and select **Data Cloud Setup**.

2. Under External Integrations, select **Other Connectors**.

3. Click **New**.

4. On the Source tab, select **ADP** and click **Next**.

5. Enter a connection name and connection API name.

6. For Authentication Details, select a Named Credential from the dropdown.

7. Optionally, add a SSL Server Certificate. Enter the whole SSL certificate string, an SHA-1 certificate string, or upload the string as a .pem file.

8. For Connection Details, check the Use UAT value if you want to connect to a UAT environment.
