Hi experts, I have search some related thread, can i make a conclusion as, calling a webservice must enter user id and password for authentication? Either u have prefill the logon id in SICF, or enter in the pop-out during execution. Can we bypass this authentication?

Hi,

If you prefill the logon id in SICF you do not need to enter a user id and password to consume the Web Service.

You can also turn off the authentication completely for the specific endpoint you are calling.

In most cases it is not helpful to have no authentication as it will give your support team a headache if they try and find what users id have been calling what services.

What is the scenario you are trying to deliver? Is the security giving you a logon issue, a performance issue or simply you dont 'need' to restrict or trace what users call what resource?

Thanks for replying.

Ya, can show me the step completely turn off the authentication?

The webservice is called by the ground-level staff which sharing ID. There is no point of me tracking the userid who calling the service.
