About Data Adapter Authentication

While some web services have publicly available APIs and links that data adapters can use, there are plenty of services out there that require security clearance. Thus, it may be necessary to configure data adapters to provide these services with the required authentication details. There are two options for the type of authentication configurations: Basic and OAuth 2.0. You can create a maximum of 25 authentication configurations. It is recommended authentication configurations be established before configuring the access links. For more information, see About Access Links.
