Enable Basic Authentication Protocol Support for Talend

Note: please note that Liferay has renamed its Liferay Experience Could offerings to Liferay SaaS (formerly LXC) and Liferay PaaS (formerly LXC-SM).

Issue

• Talend Liferay component requires using basic auth.

Environment

• Liferay SaaS

Resolution

• The Basic Authentication Protocol cannot be enabled within the environment due to security concerns.
   
  In order to integrate Talend, one should use OAuth2 instead of Basic Authentication.
   
  

  For example, the following can be performed in order to setup Talend with OAuth2.

   

  You can choose the "Authorization type" in the Talend component as shown in https://liferay.dev/blogs/-/blogs/integrating-liferay-commerce-using-an-etl-liferay-components-for-talend-open-studio-part-3 > https://liferay.dev/documents/portlet_file_entry/14/commerce_etl_liferay_6.png/2d772b34-ed54-85bb-3c3a-0dcfb0a3f78e?imagePreview=1
