How To Restrict The Embedded Password Authentication Type For A Particular Data Source

How to disable the embedded password authentication type for a specific data source?
As an administrator, I would like to restrict publishers to select only "Prompt user" for a particular data source to prevent others from accidentally viewing data with embedded passwords.

Steg

The ability to disable the embedded password authentication type for a particular data source is not built into the product. Potential workarounds are:

Workaround 1:

  • After publishing a data source, reassign its ownership to an administrator or another designated user.

  • Changing the owner will automatically remove any existing embedded passwords from the data source.

  • For details, refer to Considerations for changing content ownership.

Workaround 2:

  • Limit the users who have permission to publish data sources.

  • Enforce operational policies that prohibit embedding passwords during the publishing process.

Workaround 3:

  • If acceptable for your environment, you can disable “Embedded Credentials in Content” for all data sources at the server level.

  • To configure this, adjust the server settings as described in Let users embed credentials (or not).
