Use a Security Profile with DirectInvoke

Some web sites or web services require that the connection be secured or that you provide additional authentication information in the request when you request information from them or request other actions. Business Analytics uses security profiles to fill these requirements from information sources.

Note:

A security profile is not required to provide secured connections for web sites or web services that use one-way SSL with the HTTPS protocol (in their URL). Business Analytics administrators must configure Business Analytics for one-way SSL, but no additional information is required. for more information.

Use the Security Profile section in Advanced Properties to supply this information for the

DirectInvoke action.

Name
