Copy the URL from item:sva_authentication_uri in the response and paste this value into a browser window. Enter the appropriate credentials in the returned login prompt and submit the form. If successful, an authentication token will be granted, returned to the SkySync Manager, and saved to the connection specified in the previous step. A response similar to the following will be displayed in the browser with the account that was used to login, if successful.
