Outbound Ports [Settings]
An outbound port represents a single port for a WSDL-defined service provider. It provides the configuration of invocation of the web service.
To view this page in the console, click the following path:
.
Requests and responses to an outbound service can be sent across any binding (for example SOAP over HTTP or SOAP over JMS) that is available to both the service integration bus and the external web service. Each available binding is represented by a port.
You can set the levels of security to be applied to messages. The security level can be set independently for request and response messages.
Because the service is hosted externally, you might also have to enable proxy server authentication to get permission to access the Internet.

If the external web service requires HTTP basic authentication, you can use a JAX-RPC handler list to provide an HTTP basic authentication header.
