Working with password-protected components

Configure user ID and password authentication and authorization for inbound services, and for individual operations within a web service. Invoke password-protected outbound services, and access password-protected proxy servers.

About this task

In addition to the security options described in Configuring secure transmission of SOAP messages by using WS-Security, you can also use the broader security features of WebSphere® Application Server to work with the password-protected components that are described in the sub-topics listed below:

  • Password-protecting inbound services

    Password-protect a set of inbound services by requiring user authentication for access to the associated HTTP endpoint listener, or (for JMS) to the associated JMS queue destination.

  • Password-protecting a web service operation

    Password-protect individual operations (methods) in a Web service by creating an enterprise bean with methods matching the Web service operations, then applying WebSphere Application Server authentication mechanisms to the enterprise bean so that, before a web service operation is invoked, a call is made to the EJB method for authorization.

  • Invoking a password-protected outbound service

    Invoke a password-protected external web service by configuring and deploying a JAX-RPC handler to set the associated user ID and password.

  • Accessing a password-protected proxy server

    Configure access to an external web service or WSDL file through a password-protected proxy server.
