Adapter-Specific AttributesLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

You specify the following attributes in a sender agreement, receiver agreement, or a direct connection that was assigned a communication channel with adapter type WS (current version, software component version 7.11).

Note

These attributes are also displayed for other attributes of the sender agreement, receiver agreement, or direct connection under Adapter-Specific Attributes .

The other attributes are, on the other hand, described in the documentation for the sender agreement, receiver agreement, or direct connection.

In addition you can specify the same adapter-specific attributes in a sender agreement, receiver agreement, or direct connection. Essentially, some attributes do depend on the configuration of the assigned communication channel.

Message ID Transport Settings

Here you specify whether the message ID is to be transferred or not.

If the message ID is to be transferred, you can select one of the following logs for transferring the message ID:

HTTP Proxy Settings

These settings refer to the HTTP proxy that the Web service consumer uses to establish a connection with the Web service provider.

These fields are only displayed if the assigned receiver channel was configured for non-local calls.

You can specify the following attributes:

  • Host Name

  • Service name

  • User ID and password

    Specifies the user name and password with which the Web service consumer is logged on at the Web service provider.

Web Service Client Timeout

Under Maximum Wait Time of a Web Service Client you can set the maximum time that the Web service consumer should wait for a reply for before it reports a timeout.

Scope of Data for Service Call Statistics

For scenarios where communication is based on the Web services runtime, the service provider is automatically sent statistical information about all service consumers that call it. The transfer of this data is always activated, but you can configure the scope of data that is to be transferred to the provider in the service call statistics.

In the direct connection, you define the scope of consumer data that is to be transferred to the service provider.

Note

To ensure the appropriate input fields are displayed, the direct connection must be assigned a communication channel with adapter type XI or WS in version 7.11 .

You can choose between the following values for the scope of data:

  • Minimal Data Transfer

  • Elementary Data Transfer

  • Enhanced Data Transfer

The default setting for the scope of data is Minimal Data Transfer .

You can also define a particular protocol for data transfer.

Communication Channel-Dependent Attributes

The following attributes depend on the communication security or authentication method that is set in the assigned communication channel.

Communication Channel-Dependent Attributes

Setting in Assigned Channel

Adapter-Specific Attribute

User ID/Password (Transport Channel Authentication)

or:

User ID/Password (Authentication at Message Level)

Authentication

User name and user password for authentication at Web service provider.

X.509 SSL Client Certificate (Authentication at Transport Level)

X.509 SSL Client PSE:

Specifies the certificate that is only to be used for SSL client authentication with the web service call.

To execute a user authentication with this certificate, a certificate user mapping must exist in the provider system.

Communication Security: Asymmetrical Message Signature/Encryption

or:

Symmetrical Message Signature/Encryption

Encryption certificate in PSE WSSCRT:

Specifies the certificate that is to be used to encrypt the web service call.

Authentication: X.509 Certificate (Message Authentication) or communication security: Asymmetrical Message Signature/Encryption

Signature PSE - Signing key:

Specifies the private key to be used to sign the message.

If the Web service provider is expecting a certificate authentication then the corresponding certificate is also used for the authentication. In this case there must be a certificate user mapping.

The source of the input help for the PSEs orients itself according to whether you configure a sender agreement, receiver agreement, or direct connection.

  • Sender agreement: PSE of the sender system

  • Direct connection: PSE of the sender system
