Configuring the Web Service Client in the SAP NetWeaver Administrator 

Use

During the design time and at a later stage during the runtime you have configured the Web service to use basic authentication. To consume the Web service, during the runtime, you have to configure a logical port to the Web service client. Configuring the logical port of the Web service client, you provide username and password, which ensure the secure communication.

Procedure

       1.      Open the SAP NetWeaver Administrator in a web browser, by entering the following address.

http://localhost:<Port_Number>/nwa

You can enter <Port_Number> constructed by the formula 5 + NN + 00, where NN is the number of the Java instance.

If prompted, enter administrator’s username and password.

       2.      Choose SOA Management → Web Services Administration.

Alternatively, you can use the quick link /WSAdmin as follows:

http://<host>:<port>/nwa/WSAdmin

       3.      In the Search by field, choose Proxy Definition Name.

       4.      In the Value field, enter ConverterLocal, and then choose Go.

       5.      From the table with results, choose ConverterLocal, and then choose Configuration tab.

       6.      Choose the ConverterBeanPort, and then choose Edit.

       7.      On the Security tab, provide the following settings:

                            a.      On the Authentication field, choose HTTP Authentication.

                            b.      Choose User ID/Password (Basic) option.

                            c.      Choose Details, and then enter administrator username and password.

       8.      Save your changes.
