Remap Data Sources

Option | Description |
---|---|
X.509 certificate subject | Select a valid X.509 certificate. This is used to protect the security of the passwords used to connect to data sources when exporting and importing them. The valid certificates that are installed locally on your computer are listed in the drop-down list.
Note: The selected certificate must also be installed on the node that runs the Automation Services jobs.
