Edit Authentication for a Backend Service

Administrators can use the Services tab in the Tenant Settings page to edit the authentication and connection settings for the backend services available in the tenancy. Once a backend service is added, you can edit its details. In the case of child backends, you can also override the settings inherited from the backend service, for example, to allow connections to the child HCM backend to use basic authentication instead of using the Oracle Cloud Account authentication for logged-in users set at its parent backend.

For a description of the authentication options, see About Authentication and Connection Type in Developing Applications with Oracle Visual Builder in Oracle Integration Generation 2.

To edit the connection details for a backend service:

  1. Open the instance's Tenant Settings page.
  2. In the Services tab, select the backend you want to edit.
  3. Open the Servers tab of your backend, and then click Edit.
  4. In the Edit Server dialog box, edit the settings in the Security and Connection Type panes.


    In the case of a child backend, the authentication and connection type details for your backend service are inherited from the parent service, so you'll need to override the settings. If you want to revert your changes for a child backend, you can click Return to inherited to restore the default inherited setting.



  5. In the Security pane, select an authentication type in the dropdown list.

    If you are editing a child backend, you'll click Override security in the Security pane, and then select an authentication type in the dropdown list.



  6. In the Connection Type pane, select a connection type in the dropdown list.

    In the case of a child backend, click Override Connection Type and then select the connection type.

  7. Click Save.
