Step by step directions for connecting your AARI account to an Automation Anywhere Control using the Staging AuthConfig App.
* Ensure you’re not logged in to the [PixieBrix Extension](https://app.pixiebrix.com/).
* Navigate to Extension Settings page and set **Authentication Method** to `partner-oauth2`.
* Navigate to the Extension Options page to login. You should see the following screen.
* Add the `env=staging` URL parameter. You should see the following screen. If the default values are not populated, refresh the page.
* Fill out the form appropriately and click **Connect AARI**.
* In a new screen, you will be prompted to login with your IDP (identity provider). In this case, we’re using JumpCloud so we see a JumpCloud login form. Fill out the form appropriately and submit.
* If your login credentials are correct, you will be successfully logged in to the Extension.
