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.

This procedure enables you to create configuration at runtime using the smart SOA configuration application. You apply the configuration described in this procedure to only one consumer, however if you can use it in the same way to configure multiple consumers.

Procedure

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

http://localhost:<port>/nwa

You can construct <port> by the formula 5 + NN + 00, where NN is the number of the Java instance.

Enter your user name and password if required.
