Target Integration Parameters

Targets are used only for URL configurations, where you parameterize the Web host target of the URL, and sometimes login credentials. Type directly into the fields to define a parameter, as described below.

Field

Description

Parameter

Parameter name, as specified in the command definition related to this target.

Type

Parameter type. Choose Text or Password from the drop-down menu. Password type parameters are automatically encrypted.

Notes:

  • Always set login credentials (passwords or authentication tokens) to type “Password” (not “Text”). (Credentials set to “Text” are not masked on the UI and are sent as clear text if the renderer is an external browser.)

  • You can set passwords and authentication credentials on target servers too, but we recommend against it in most cases. Doing so risks opening up a target server to any user who has access to the integration commands (not necessarily an account on the target server). Additionally, it does not give you any tracking information based on user logins to the server.

Value

Hard-coded value, variable, or Velocity Expression for the parameter.

For example:

  • A host name or IP address as a value for a target server parameter

To add a new parameter, click Add. This gives you a new row in which to enter Parameter, Type, and Value information. You can add multiple parameters to a target.

Tip: Entering data in the Common and Assign sections is optional, depending on how your environment is configured. For information about the Common and Assign attributes sections, as well as the read-only attribute fields in Parent Groups and Creation Information, see Common Resource Attribute Fields.
