In the **Access Authentication** step, click **Add** and choose an available authentication profile from the drop-down list. Only enabled profiles can be associated with a host. Note that you can add multiple profiles only if they are of different protocol types.

For information about access authentication and how to configure it, see *[Managing Access Authentication](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BloxOneCloud/pages/35396331)*. 

The selected **Name** and **Type** of the authentication profiles are displayed in the table. You can also select a profile and click **Remove** to remove it.

**Tagged Authentication Mode**: You can select an authentication mode only when editing the service.

Ensure that all required information is provided, and click **Next** to proceed to the next step. If any required information is left empty, an error icon will appear next to the page. To complete missing information, click **Back**. To exit without saving the configuration, click **Cancel**. If you have completed all edits and configuration, click **Finish**.
