  4. Click the M3 Interface button.
  5. In the Rest tab, specify the URL of the MI rest service in the Uri field.
  6. Select an option in the Authentication section, and specify these information:
    1. If you selected the Basic option, specify the user name and password for your account.
    2. If you selected the Certificate option, specify this information:
      Certificate File
      Specify the certificate file for authentication by clicking the Browse button.
      Password
      Specify the password for the certificate file.
  7. In the Options section, select the applicable M3 data activation options.
