The following authentication methods are supported for deploying web services with the WebService Designer:

  • Deployment with API Key: A dedicated API key created on the ECS Core Management site is used for authentication. The API key must have been created for deployment to a user of the ECS Core Management Site (can be created under Administrators).

  • Deployment with Basic Credentials: A user created on the ECS Core Management Site under Administrators is used for authentication. Windows Credentials are not supported for deployment!

The connection settings and authentication for deployment must be stored in the Server Connection dialog (in the WebService Designer menu under Connections).
