Security

Hi

Is it mandatory to always use security settings while using SOAP Adapter ? I mean when you invoke a free webservice then do we have to use security settings ? Rather is it possible to use SOAP Adapter without using security settings ?

By security settings do you mean HTTPS?

Security setting in a normal case means providing a password for connection.....if it is a freely available WS then it may not have any passowrd associate with it and is normally used for practice purpose.

The same is not provided for Sender SOAP channel......for the sender SOAP, the sending application should provide proper user details before invoking the XI web service......this is not related for your main question...just for your info.

Hi

I meant we see an option " Select Security Profile " under Security Parameters in SOAP adapter, both sender as well as receiver.

I was wondering when we enable it.

Hi,

I have used web services over the internet and extranet and have never needed to use this option - have you not checked the help on the SOAP Adapter to see the use of this option already ?

It is used to introduce message-level security....say if you want to encrypt/ decrypt the message passing through XI then in such cases we use the above setting.....in such cases we need to make use of Certificates....normally used in case of financial transactions.

Hello,

In general it is not obligatory to use security in SOAP adapter BUT from my experience i can say that if you work with BUSINESS data (for example invoice) you have to use security settings.
