IBM® InfoSphere Identity Insight Web services
requires that certain software be installed and operational.
Before using Web services, make sure that the following
software is installed and operational:
- IBM InfoSphere Identity Insight Web services must be installed
and running.
- The embedded IBM WebSphere® Application Server
must be running where the IBM InfoSphere Identity Insight Web services
are deployed. In most cases, this is the same application server that
the Configuration Console and the Visualizer are installed on.
- A Web services pipeline must be started and listening on the appropriate
HTTP URL. The application server attempts to send UMF data to this
Web services pipeline over the specified HTTP URL, whenever a SOAP
request is received.
Note: The HTTP URL used for communication between
the application server and the pipeline is
not the same as
the URL used by Web service clients attempting to send SOAP requests.
Sending SOAP requests directly to the Web services pipeline HTTP URL
will result in an error.
For example, if WebSphere Application Server
is set up with the default port range, the Port numbers and usage
would be:
- nnn0 - HTTP port for Webserver
- nnn1 - HTTPS port for Webserver
- nnn2 - HTTP Administration port
- nnn3 - HTTPS Administration port
- nnn4 - SOAP port
- nnn5 - Application server port.
- The webservices.properties file must be configured with the HTTP
URL of the running pipeline, so that the embedded WebSphere Application
Server knows where to find the pipeline that will handle the Web service
requests. This file is usually located in the following directory: product_home/srd-home/easws
- A SOAP and WSDL-compatible Web services client, used to invoke
IBM InfoSphere Identity Insight Web services, must exist. A sample
client, wsutil.jar, is installed with IBM InfoSphere Identity Insight
Web services for testing previous release services, but does not apply
to enhanced services for version 8.0, fix pack 2.
