Security Policies and Configuration
Business Analytics supports Web Services Security (WSS) to define security constraints and policies for WSDL web services. See
Web Services Security (WSS) for WSDL Services for more information.
For SOAP web services that do not use WSS, you can set up secure communications between Business Analytics and the web service using these security profiles:
Basic HTTP Authentication, for service invocation only
NTLM Authentication, for both web service invocation and retrieval of the WSDL during service registering
SSL, for both web service invocation and retrieval of the WSDL during service registering
Business Analytics administrators can also add custom security mechanisms to handle specific information source security requirements. See
Configure Secure Connections for Mashables for more information.
Business Analytics administrators can also control the HTTP response headers for WSDL web services or timeouts for connections with WSDL web services.
