@sarahs - There was a new update for Desktop released yesterday and it includes "fine grained scoping of credentials" for web connector.

Perhaps that will solve your issue?

 I  reviewed the new update and It is difficult to determine how to  properly configure  the  autentication setup. For example my URL connection links to a commercial customer compaint management sytem but the url directs you first our company's enterprise login screen and then to the 3rd party website.
