The UDDI registry user interface (also referred to as the UDDI registry user console) is a graphical interface that you can use to issue inquiry requests and explore the UDDI registry.
WebSphere Application Server security status | URL used to access the UDDI user console | Behavior of the UDDI user console |
---|---|---|
Enabled | http://host_name:http_port/uddigui | Inquiry requests do not require authentication;
they use the HTTP URL and are not secure. Publish requests require WebSphere Application Server authentication.
When you access the publish pane, you are dynamically redirected to
use HTTPS, and are prompted for a user ID and password. For a successful
request, the authenticated user must be registered as a UDDI publisher. If the GUI_Inquiry_User role is mapped to all authenticated users, and the transport guarantee in the user data constraint section for that role is set to CONFIDENTIAL, all requests, including inquiry, require authentication and use of HTTPS. |
https://host_name:ssl_port/uddigui | Requests are secure; you are prompted to authenticate with a user ID and password. For a successful request, the authenticated user must be registered as a UDDI publisher. | |
Disabled | http://host_name:http_port/uddigui | No requests, either publish or inquire, are authenticated and the data flow is not secure (non- SSL). Even though SSL transport-guarantee settings are defined, they are not enforced if security is disabled. All publish operations are performed using a user ID of UNAUTHENTICATED, or a value that can be configured by using the administrative console or the Java Management Extensions (JMX) management interface (this applies to new requests only). |
https://host_name:ssl_port/uddigui | No requests, either publish or inquire, are authenticated, but the data flow is secure because the SSL URL and port are used explicitly. All publish operations are performed using a user ID of UNAUTHENTICATED, or a value that can be configured by using the administrative console or the JMX management interface (this applies to new requests only). |
