All web service requests that CA Automation Point processes, are restricted to user IDs that are authorized to perform the desired operation. Do not create new user IDs for web services. Instead, utilize user IDs that are already in use by the underlying AP component. Operations against the web service sessions and intsessions objects are authorized by the user IDs configured in the following configuration item and authenticated by Remote Manager.
Configuration Manager
Expert Interface
Automation
Remote Viewing
Remote User Login Security
Similarly, operations against the web service notifications objects are authorized by the user IDs configured as Notification Manager login names. The particular privileges that a user must possess for a given operation are in “Web Service API” in the CA Automation Point Command and Keyword Reference Guide.
To secure the transmission of the user ID and password from the remote client to the CA Automation Point server, configure your communications to use TLS. TLS stands for Transport Layer Security, also known as SSL – Secure Sockets Layer. When sending HTTP requests to a TLS-secured web server, the HTTPS network scheme is required in your URI. This scheme secures your communications from the remote client to the Apache Tomcat web server. Both sides of this communication channel must be configured to use TLS.
