Modify the configuration of existing WS-Notification service points
to require use of SOAP over HTTPS instead of SOAP over HTTP as the binding
for inbound requests from notification providers.
Before you begin
This task assumes that you have an existing WS-Notification service
and service points, and that you are using the SOAP over HTTP binding for
inbound requests.
About this task
By default the SOAP over HTTP endpoints used by service points
accept both HTTP and HTTPS requests. HTTPS can be used by changing the endpoint
URL prefix to https:// on each WS-Notification service point
for the service, and modifying the port to the HTTPS port used by the server
(default of 9443).
For Version 7.0 WS-Notification services, enterprise applications are used to expose the web services associated with the WS-Notification service. For
Version 6.1 WS-Notification services, service integration endpoint listeners
are used.
Procedure
-
Start the administrative console.
-
Navigate to
or
,
then identify the WS-Notification service points for the WS-Notification service
you want to secure.
-
Configure HTTPS access individually on each of the WS-Notification
service points by repeating the following sub-steps:
For Version
7.0 WS-Notification services:
-
In the content pane, click the name of a Version 7.0 WS-Notification service point in the list.
- Navigate to the associated enterprise application by clicking [Additional
Properties] Service point application
. The enterprise application settings panel is displayed.
Note: You can also
reach this panel by clicking
.
- In the enterprise application settings panel, click [Web Services
Properties] Provide HTTP endpoint URL information.
- Specify the endpoint URL prefix (that is the protocol (HTTPS), host name,
and port number) to use in the endpoint URL. You can select the default HTTPS
prefix (https://your_host_name:9443) from
a predefined list, or you can create and use your own custom HTTPS prefix.
