Creating or editing an endpoint for a Provide Service activity
Create or edit a Web Service endpoint for a Provide Service activity.
Procedure
- In the Create Endpoint or Edit Endpoint pane, select the Provide option
and configure the relevant fields. Note: Changing the configuration properties of an endpoint affects all of the orchestrations that use that endpoint in the project. These changes are global, not local.
- Transport
- Select one of the following transport options:
- HTTP : Select this option if the Web Service provide project is to be deployed on an Integration Appliance .
- Cast Iron Cloud : Select this option if the Web Service provide project is to be deployed on Cast Iron Live.
- Local : Select this option if this orchestration is called locally by other orchestrations. It can be used in Studio and on an Integration Appliance.
- Port
- Specifies the port number to communicate with the Integration
Appliance acting as the Web Service. CAUTION:This port number is different to the port name specified in the WSDL.
- Path
- The path string specified in this field is added to the URL of the Integration Appliance to form the location element of the generated WSDL. For example, if your Integration Appliance is named: myAR.myCompany.com and the string specified in the Path field is /services/myservice/1.0, the resulting location element in the WSDL file is equal to the following string: http://myAR.myCompany.com/services/myservice/1.0
- Login
- Select the Log into the Server as an Anonymous User option to connect to the endpoint server anonymously (where a user account is not required).
- Select the Log into the Server with User Name and Password option connect to the endpoint server using a user account. Specify the User Name and Password.
- Select the type of Authentication to authenticate
with the remote server.
- Basic - Sends the user name and password you specify, base64 encoded as part of the HTTP Authorization header to the server.
- Specify the Realm.
- Specify the User Name for the account used to connect to the endpoint server.
- Specify the Password for the account used to connect to the endpoint server.
- Security
- Select the None option if no security is required.
- Select the HTTPS option to enable secure
Web Service over SSL.
- Available for the HTTP transport option only. When server authentication is required, select the Server Certificate Alias Name check box to specify that the Integration Appliance acting as a server provides a certificate to the client. This certificate is used by the client for authentication and encryption. If this check box is selected, the name of the certificate must be provided. A certificate specified at the activity level with this check box, takes precedence over certificates specified on the Security > Certificates > Settings > Server SSL over data NIC entry in the WMC.
- Select the Protocol Version used for secure HTTP over SSL. By default, the protocol version used is SSL_TLSv2.
- Connection Pool Options
- The Maximum Connections parameter specifies the maximum number of connections that the Integration Appliance can open in the connection pool. By default, the Integration Appliance can have 25 connections open.
Note: For some of the fields in the endpoint, you can define configuration properties to supply the values for these fields. Theicon displays when you click in a field that supports a configuration property and a configuration property of the same type is already configured for the project.
