The following section discusses security aspects of ES Explorer.

ES Explorer requires a connection to the Services Registry (SR).

Note
For the publication scenario, assigned this user account to the SERVICES_REGISTRY_READ_WRITE role.
Authentication for the Services Registry
Depending on the required level of security, configure authentication level for services (strong, basic or none) in NetWeaver Administrator.
More information: Authentication for Web Services under Runtime Configuration in NetWeaver Administrator.
Note
Configuration settings of ES Explorer in Microsoft Visual Studio must match the above-mentioned authorization and authentication settings.
Authorization for Services
Consumption of services discovered with ES Explorer requires authorizations for the services in the backend systems in which they are implemented. These authorizations are granted to user accounts assigned to services. The developers use these accounts for consuming the services.
