Changing the Authentication Mode for My webMethods Server
By default, in Command Central the Authentication mode for run-time components that support trusted authentication is set to Trusted.
On the instance Overview tab, click The Edit Tool icon in the Authentication field to change the authentication mode using the Authentication Mode dialog box.
When you specify the authentication mode for an instance, that authentication mode is also set for all layered product instances of the main product instance. However, changing the authentication mode for the OSGI profile of My webMethods Server does not change the authentication mode for the My webMethods Server run-time component that belongs to that OSGI profile.
To use basic authentication, you must change the authentication mode for a run-time component to Fixed User. Command Central uses basic authentication with a fixed user to communicate with Platform Manager. With Fixed User authentication, the authentication credentials for the Platform Manager will be fixed.
