Set Data Source Credentials
To open an analysis or information link that requires data source authentication, use this task to specify the credentials.
Note: This task is not supported when running on Linux.
This task should be performed before any Open Analysis from
Library or Replace Data Table with Information Link tasks. To secure the login
credentials, you must encrypt them using an X.509 certificate. Note that you
must add one Set Data Source Credentials task for each data source that
requires authentication.

Automation Services jobs.
