Global Security

Security is crucial to keep your farm safe. Different authentication methods enable users to confirm their identities and safely connect to the database or to any data connections.

For detailed information about farm security options, see the "Installation" section.

On the Global Security tab in Service Expert, you can save your master keys and profile to a file, configure security types, and manage security certificates. You can configure these security types:

  • Service-to-service security
  • API security
  • Web access security
  • Client access security

For Service-to-service security, only the basic authentication type is available.
