Configuring secure access to a WS-Notification service using SOAP over HTTPS

Modify the configuration of an existing WS-Notification service to require use of SOAP over HTTPS instead of SOAP over HTTP.

Before you begin

This task assumes that you have an existing WS-Notification service and service points, and that you are using the SOAP over HTTP binding.

About this task

By default the SOAP over HTTP endpoint listener application used by WS-Notification accepts both HTTP and HTTPS requests. HTTPS can be used by changing the endpoint listener URL prefix to https:// on each WS-Notification service point for the service, and modifying the port to the HTTPS port used by the server (default of 9443).

To configure secure access to a WS-Notification service by using SOAP over HTTPS, complete the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Using the administrative console, navigate to Service integration > Web services > WS-Notification services > [Content Pane] service_name > WS-Notification service points or Service integration > Buses > [Content Pane] bus_name > [Services] WS-Notification services > [Content Pane] service_name > WS-Notification service points , then identify the WS-Notification service points for the WS-Notification service you want to secure.
  2. Configure HTTPS access individually on each of the WS-Notification service points by repeating the following sub-steps:
    1. Create a new endpoint listener with an https URL as the URL root.
    2. Modify this WS-Notification service point to associate the inbound port for the new endpoint listener with this service point. The https URL appears in the published WSDL file.
    3. Prevent the new endpoint listener from accepting HTTP connections by modifying the virtual host settings. For more information, see Virtual hosts and Creating a Secure Sockets Layer configuration.
