Why and when to perform this task
Use this task to perform actions on UDDI information through the UDDI user console. The exact behavior of the user console depends on several configurable factors, such as: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 do require WebSphere
Application Server authentication. When you access the publish pane you will
be dynamically redirected to use HTTPS, and will be prompted for a user ID
and password. For the request to be successful , 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 the request to be successful , 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 using the administrative console or the 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 using the administrative console or the JMX management interface (this applies to new requests only). |
