As shown below, you can enter new authentication credentials on the second step of the wizard, or choose a credential you might have defined previously. Most REST-Enabled SQL services use basic authentication over HTTPS. This includes ones on-premises and in Autonomous AI Database.

When you click (Create) APEX validates the endpoint URL and authentication to confirm everything is working. As shown below, if all is well, you’ll see a confirmation to that effect.
