Authentication Profile in Pega Connect-REST allows for access to Secured REST services by specifying the credentials and security protocols. The profile is used to authenticate requests to external systems or access OAuth2 and OpenID Connect services for user-level authentication. Authentication Profile procedures can be configured to support Basic Authentication, OAuth2, and OpenID Connect protocols.
The authentication Profile in Pega Connect-REST is a set of configurations that defines the authentication mechanism and information used to authenticate an external system with the Connect-REST service. It includes a number of authentication details such as authentication type, trust store, user ID, password, OAuth configuration, and so on. An authentication profile also allows users to securely store and manage authentication tokens used in token-based authentication.
