Configuring WSDL SecurityLocate this document in the navigation structure

Prerequisites

The user account you use to configure WSDL authentication is assigned to the NWA_SUPERADMIN role.

Context

To protect the WSDL documents of a Web service deployed on an AS Java system, you can enable the authentication for accessing WSDL documents. By default, WSDL authentication is disabled. After you enable WSDL authentication on AS Java, users must use one of the following authentication methods before they can download or open an WSDL document:

  • HTTP Basic

  • Single Sign-On (SSO)

  • X.509 client certificate

Note

When WSDL authentication is activated, the system checks whether the authenticated user is authorized to access WSDL documents. An authorized user must be assigned to the WSDL_Viewer role, or to a role that contains the WSDL_Visualization UME action.
