Before you begin
About this task
You can configure the UDDI registry to use the UDDI security features with WebSphere Application Server security disabled for test purposes. It is not advisable to use this type of configuration for production purposes.
- UDDI Version 1 and Version 2 publish requests require UDDI Version 1 and Version 2 authentication tokens respectively. Publishers that request or use an authentication token must be registered WebSphere Application Server users.
- UDDI Version 1 and Version 2 inquiry requests do not require authentication tokens.
For UDDI Version 3, you must configure the UDDI registry to use the UDDI Version 3 Security API, or to use authentication tokens with the Version 3 Publish and Custody Transfer APIs.
To configure the UDDI registry to use the UDDI Version 3 security features, you use the administrative console.
Procedure
- Click .
- In the General Properties section, select Use authInfo credentials if provided to specify that the authInfo contents in UDDI API requests are used to validate users.
