Web Services and Security over internet

[Former Member]

Hi,

We need to provide web services for our vendors over internet with security. We are looking at providing https web services. One of the suggestions was to use a decentral adapter engine in the DMZ. Could someone tell me their experience and help me out on how to implement such a solution? Any advice would be of much help.

Thanks,

Sri.

Hi Sri,

I am not sure of this. But you can use https. It should be very straight forward. Create a certificate on java stack and then send to trusted Certification authories like verisign. Then they will give you a certificate. Give that certificate back to your vendors and you deploy the same in j2ee engine. Then create a port for https and then create a wsdl from sender soap communication cahnnel. Use the https port within it. Give a username and pwd to your vendors so taht while sending they can use it and send. Then you should see the message in XI.

hi sathish,

Thanks for the reply. We are not looking at SSL as with SSL the message would have already reached in to the network before even it was authorised and authenticated. We wanted to do this prior to entering the intranet (i.e in DMZ itself). Thats the reason we are looking at decentral adapter engine and WS Security implementation.

Any experience in this area?

Thanks,

Sri.
