In the Web Service Configuration form, configure the connection:

Basic Parameters:

  Check this box for a service that provides values for use in other web services.

  Use it, for example, for a service that exists only to log in to a remote server. It will then be available for use in a "two-step service chain", which will be described momentarily.

• Username - Optional. Username required to use the service, when needed
• Password - Optional. Password required to use the service, when needed

• Use a Pipeline Service - Check this box when the service request requires a prior login.

  Select a pipeline Web Service defined earlier for use in a two-step service chain.

  (The amount of time the platform will wait before abandoning a request.)
