The Connection filter makes the connection to the remote Web service. It relies on connection details that are set by the other filters in the Routing category. Because the Connection filter connects out to other services, it negotiates the SSL handshake involved in setting up a mutually authenticated secure channel.
Enter an appropriate name for the filter in the Name field. Click the tabs to configure the various aspects of the Connection filter.
You can configure SSL settings, such as trusted certificates, client certificates, and ciphers on the SSL tab. For details on the fields on this tab, see the section called “SSL settings” in the Connect to URL topic.
You can select credential profiles to use for authentication on the Authentication tab. For details on the fields on this tab, see the section called “Authentication settings” in the Connect to URL topic.
The Settings tab allows you to configure the following additional settings:
-
Retry

By default, these sections are collapsed. Click a section to expand it.
