Mashable Authentication with Security Profiles
Security profiles define the credentials or other security information needed to securely connect to a mashable information source and be authenticated. The authentication information that you provide when you register a mashable is the default authentication that MashZone NextGen sends to the web service when the mashable is invoked.
Note: | Passwords provided as part of credentials for a security profile are encrypted in the MashZone NextGen Repository. |
You can provide authentication information as direct values when you register a mashable. Or this information can be dynamic, using
MashZone NextGen global or user attributes. See
Using
MashZone NextGen
Global or User Attributes in Security Profiles for more information on dynamic values.
The security information needed for a security profile depends on the secure connection protocol required by the mashable information source. MashZone NextGen provides the following security profiles that you can use with mashables:
Other custom security profiles may also be available for you to use. See
Custom Security Profiles for more information.
