Remarks

The available authentication methods depend upon the service you are connecting to:

WQL and Reports as a Service

When connecting with UseWQL enabled, the following authentication schemes are available:

• OAuthJWT: Use OAuth with an x509 certificate. Only available for ISUs.

SOAP

When connecting with UseWQL disabled, the following authentication schemes are available:

• Basic: Authenticate using the User and Password for a normal user or ISU.
• OAuth, OAuthJWT, AzureAD: These authentication schemes behave the same in WQL and Reports as a Service.
