Custom Endpoint Library Dialog Box

When you select the Custom Endpoint Library in App Explorer, any existing custom endpoints are listed followed by the endpoint details for the currently-selected endpoint.

The following describes the Endpoint details section of the dialog box.

For details on using custom endpoints, refer to Using Custom Endpoints.

Element Description
Name A descriptive name for the endpoint.
Description A description for the endpoint.
URL The default address of the endpoint. This value will be used to create a new environment endpoint when the process app is deployed if no matching environment endpoint can be found.
Authentication Type

The default authentication type used for this endpoint. This value will be used to create a new environment endpoint when the process app is deployed if no matching environment endpoint can be found. Options are as follows:

  • None

    Select None if the endpoint does not require authentication.

  • HTTP Basic

    Select HTTP Basic if the endpoint points to a Web service that requires Basic Access Authentication and you want to provide the credentials (user name and password).

    Important: The HTTP Basic credentials set in Application Repository for an endpoint override Basic credentials that are set in orchestration workflows. For example, if username joe and password pwd are specified in the orchestration, but Application Repository specifies HTTP Basic with different credentials, the Application Repository credentials are used instead. If you do not want to override the credentials specified in the orchestration workflow, select None in Application Repository.
  • NTLM

    Select NTLM if the endpoint points to a Web service that requires Windows domain credentials. Enter the username, password, and domain name.

  • Security Token

    Select Security Token if the endpoint points to an SBM Web service or other internal endpoint.

  • Oauth 2

    Select OAuth 2 for RESTful calls that use OAuth 2 security. For details on obtaining and specifying the OAuth 2 token that is required, refer to the SBM Application Repository Guide.

Important: Process app endpoint settings are used only as defaults for new environment endpoints created during the first deployment to an environment. Once the environment endpoint has been created, changing the URL or authentication settings in SBM Composer will not overwrite values specified in the environment endpoint. Use SBM Application Repository to change environment endpoint settings.
