WS-Security for Outgoing SOAP Messages (Deprecated)

This topic describes how Process Platform handles outgoing WS-Security signed or encrypted SOAP messages.

With WS-Security, you can sign or encrypt parts of SOAP messages. Process Platform supports WS-Security (SOAP Message Security 1.0) for incoming and outgoing SOAP messages, which is part of Basic Security Profile 1.0.

WS-Security Service Group Configuration

You can enable WS-Security set in the service group configuration in LDAP. Thus, you can configure the WS-Security properties per service group. The procedure to enable WS-Security is described in Configuring a Service Group for WS-Security.

Signatures

If WS-Security is enabled, the service group sends WS-Security signed SOAP messages. Every SOAP message contains a signature generated using the private key of the service group.

Encryption

To use encryption, an API must be implemented. This can be found in the Java documentation.
