Select Manage > Web Connections.

The Web Connections page lists the web connections you have uploaded to FME Server along with workspaces.

Many workspaces that are run from FME Server require you to connect and authenticate to a web service. For example, a workspace that contains an HTTPCaller transformer may require you to authenticate to a web service, such as Google Fusion Tables, by providing your user name and password.

FME Server allows you to securely store and reference the authentication parameters to these web services as self-contained objects, in the same manner as they can be stored in FME Workbench. When you run a workspace from FME Server that requires a web connection, the credentials associated with the stored connection are also referenced, so you do not have to re-enter them.

Note: FME Server stores only one connection for each web service. If a connection is uploaded to FME Server for a web service that is already represented by a connection, the existing connection is updated with the new credentials.
