Inbound Ports [Settings]

An inbound port describes the Web service enablement of a service destination on a specific endpoint listener, with associated configuration.

To view this pane in the console, click the following path:

Service integration > Buses > [Content Pane] bus_name > [Services] Inbound Services > [Content Pane] service_name > [Additional Properties] Inbound Ports > [Content Pane] port_name.

Each inbound port is associated with an endpoint listener, and you can control which groups of users can access a particular inbound service by making the service available only through specific endpoint listeners.

You can set the levels of security to be applied to messages. The security level can be set independently for request and response messages.
