Setting Security Details

The Security link at the Service level can be used to update the security for all defined methods of the Service.

The provider of the integration will define what security will be required to invoke their integration(s). This can be Basic Authentication, oAuth2 or no security at all. For each method (integration) the appropriate security can be set by selecting the Security link. The developer can then select the Authentication Option.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Security Details page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.
