Implement a Custom Security Profile Client
Register a Custom Security Profile
Mashable information sources may require credentials, specific secure protocols or other security information to accept connections from Business Analytics and process requests. These security requirements are called security profiles in Business Analytics.
Users provide credentials or other security information when they register mashables with Business Analytics based on the security profile they choose during registration. Business Analytics provides security profiles for some of the most common secure connection requirements:
*HTTP Basic authentication = basic credentials (user name and password) for authentication with the mashable information source.
*CAS2 = authentication is handled by the Central Authentication Server (CAS), a single sign-on solution, using the CAS2 protocol.
To enable this security profile, Business Analytics administrators must also configure Business Analytics authentication for SSO using CAS2.
*NTLM authentication = Windows credentials (user name, password and NT domain) for authentication with the mashable information source.
*SSL and Digital Certificates = HTTPS using mutual SSL for a secure connection and the certificate to provide authentication with the mashable information source.
Tp enable this security profile, Business Analytics administrators must also configure Business Analytics for SSL.
*SSO = credentials or other authentication information provided by user-agent-based single sign-on solutions, such as SiteMinder.
To enable this security profile, Business Analytics administrators must also configure Business Analytics authentication for SSO.
If a mashable has other security requirements, Business Analytics developers or administrators can Implement a Custom Security Profile Client that handles these unique requirements and then Register a Custom Security Profile with Business Analytics.
