Edit a Backend Server's Authentication Details

After a backend is created, you can edit the server's authentication details from the Servers tab.

You might want to edit the authentication details when the authorization requirements of your app change, for example, if you you need to override the settings for the backend service. If you have multiple servers added to your backend, you may need to make changes in more than one server.

  1. Open the backend's Servers tab.
  2. Click the Edit icon beside the server instance you want to edit:

  3. In the Edit Server dialog, you can use the Authentication drop-down list to change the authentication mechanism.

    If the connection is to a service in your Service Catalog, click Override security to display the Authentication drop-down list, where you can override settings inherited from the backend. To change the connection type inherited from the backend, click Override Connection Type and make changes.

  4. (Optional) Select Allow anonymous access to the service connection infrastructure and select the authentication mechanism for anonymous users in the Authentication for anonymous users drop-down list.
