Authentication Settings (Search Web Service)

To specify how this Web service will authenticate itself to the remote server:

• Under Basic Authentication Settings, specify what authentication information, if any, you want this Web service to pass to its associated federated searches:

• If you associated a remote server on the Main Settings page and you want to use the authentication information specified for that remote server, choose Use Remote Server Basic Authentication Information.

• To use credentials from a user's login, choose User's Basic Authentication Information. Confirm that the portal configuration file has been edited so that the portal stores the user name and password in memory for as long as the user is logged in to the portal (as described in the Installation Guide for Oracle WebCenter Interaction, available on the Oracle Technology Network at http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/bea.html). This option is not supported for configurations in which users log in without typing a password (for example, single sign-on or Remember My Password) because the password will not be available to the portal.

• To specify a user name and password, choose Administrator's Basic Authentication Information and type the user name and password in the associated text boxes. This information is encrypted, stored in the portal database, and sent with all requests to this Web service.
