# Unified IDE Configuration Dialog
You can use only one IDE configuration dialog to configure all your IDEs.
## Tabs
The dialog has these tabs:
* **Setup**: authentication, CLI, and trust settings that apply across the IDE.
* **Project defaults**: the scan, filter, and advanced settings applied to every open project.
* A tab for each open project, where you can override the project defaults for that project.
## Setup
### Authentication
| Setting | Description |
| -------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Authentication method | The method used to authenticate with Snyk: **OAuth2 (recommended)**, **Personal access token**, or **API token (legacy)**. Snyk recommends OAuth2 for stronger security. |
| Token | The token used to authenticate with the Snyk API. This field only appears when you select the **Personal access token** or **API token (legacy)** method. |
| Endpoint | The endpoint used to communicate with the Snyk API. When you use SSO with OAuth2, Snyk populates this automatically. |
| Insecure (skip SSL verification) | Ignore SSL certificate errors. Use this only when connecting to self-signed or internal certificate authority servers. |
| Authenticate | Log in to Snyk. This button only appears when you select the **OAuth2** method. |
| Get Token | Open the Snyk page to generate a token. This link only appears when you select the **Personal access token** or **API token (legacy)** method. |
| Log out | Delete the stored authentication credentials. This button only appears when a credential is stored. |
### CLI configuration
| Setting | Description |
| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| CLI path | The file path to the Snyk CLI executable. The plugin uses this path to run the CLI and to store downloads. |
| Manage binaries automatically | Download and manage the Snyk CLI binary automatically, saving it to the location in **CLI path**. |
| CLI Release | The release channel for automatic CLI downloads: **Stable**, **Release Candidate**, or **Preview**. Select **Specify version…** to pin a specific version, such as `v1.1292.0`. |
| CLI download base URL | The base URL for CLI downloads. The default is `https://downloads.snyk.io`. For FIPS-enabled CLIs on Windows or Linux, use `https://downloads.snyk.io/fips`. |
| Path *(Eclipse only)* | Eclipse has a **Path** field to prepend additional directories to `PATH` before the CLI runs. Restart the IDE to apply a change. |
### Trust settings
| Setting | Description |
| -------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Trusted folder paths | The folders trusted for scanning. Each path includes all of its subfolders. |
| Add folder | Add a trusted folder path. |
## Project defaults
The **Project defaults** tab sets the values applied to every project unless a project overrides them. Each open project has its own tab with the same settings.
### Scan configuration
| Setting | Description |
| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Snyk Open Source | Find and fix open source dependency issues. |
| Snyk Code | Find and fix security issues in your application code. Snyk Code must be enabled for your Organization. |
| Snyk Infrastructure as Code | Find and fix your IaC misconfigurations. |
| Snyk Secrets | Detect and prevent secrets from being exposed in your code. This scanner appears when the feature is available for your Organization. |
| Scanning mode | Select **Auto** to run scans in the background at startup and on save, or **Manual** to run scans only when you run the Scan command. |
| Organization | The Organization ID or name for Snyk to run scans against. Snyk uses the project-specific setting when configured, then this setting, then your web account's preferred Organization. |
### Filtering and views
| Setting | Description |
| ------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Filter by severity | Select which severity levels to display: **Critical**, **High**, **Medium**, and **Low**. |
| Issue View Options | Select **Show open issues**, **Show ignored issues**, or both. These filters depend on Code Consistent Ignores for the Organization. |
| Filter by risk score *(Closed Beta)* | The minimum risk score for an issue to display. The valid range is 0 to 1000, where 0 shows all issues. |
| Delta findings | Select **All issues** to show every issue, or **Net new issues** to show only issues newly introduced by your code changes. See the [delta findings feature](/developer-tools/integrations/snyk-ide-plugins-and-extensions/visual-studio-code-extension/view-analysis-results-from-visual-studio-code-extension.md#net-new-issues-versus-all-issues). |
### Advanced
Expand **Advanced** to set defaults for every project. These values combine with any per-project values rather than replacing them.
| Setting | Description |
| -------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Additional CLI parameters | Space-separated Snyk CLI parameters for all project scans. For example, `--severity-threshold=high --debug`. CLI parameters from this level and the project level are used together. |
| Additional environment variables | Environment variables passed to the Snyk CLI, in the format `VAR1=value1;VAR2=value2`. A per-project value overrides a project default when both set the same key. |
## Project settings
Each open project has its own tab with the same **Scan configuration**, **Filters and views**, and **Advanced** settings described previously. Values you set in a project tab override the project's defaults.
The project tab also includes:
| Setting | Description |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Auto select organization | Snyk selects the Organization for the project automatically, using context found in the repository. Clear this option to set the Organization yourself. |
| Organization | The Organization ID or name for this project. When **Auto select organization** is enabled, this field is read-only and shows the Organization Snyk selected. |
### Resetting settings
On a project tab, **Reset overrides** clears all overrides for that project and falls back to the project defaults.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.snyk.io/developer-tools/integrations/snyk-ide-plugins-and-extensions/unified-ide-configuration-dialog.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
