Configuring Web Services Authentication and Authorization

RiskMinder provides Web services to programmatically perform the operations that are supported by Administration Console. You can secure these Web services calls by enabling authentication and authorization. You can use Administration Console to select the Web services for which you want to enable authentication and authorization.

Note: See "Managing Web Services Security" in the CA RiskMinder Web Services Developer’s Guide for more information on how Web services authentication and authorization works.

To configure Web services authentication and authorization:

1. Ensure that you are logged in as the MA.
2. Activate the Services and Server Configurations tab.
3. Click the Administration Console option on the submenu of the tab.
4. Under the Web Services section on the side-bar menu, click the Authentication and Authorization link to display the page.
5. In the Web Services section, select and move the Web services from the Disabled list to the Enabled list.

   Click the > or < buttons to move selected Web services to the desired list. You can also click the >> or << buttons to move all Web services to the desired lists.

6. Click Save to save your changes.
7. Refresh all deployed RiskMinder Server instances.

   See "Refreshing the Cache" for instructions on how to do this.
