Web Services Properties

The web services properties are as follows:

Enable Execution

Check to enable the Task Execution Web Service (TEWS) for the environment.

By default, TEWS is disabled.

Note: If you enable TEWS for the environment, restart the application server.

Enable WSDL Generation

Check to enable WSDL generation for the environment.

WSDL generation is enabled by default. The URL to perform WSDL generation is not accessible when WSDL generation is disabled.

Note: When generating WSDLs in a clustered environment, run one Policy Server and one Identity Manager Server, and stop all other Policy Servers and Identity Manager Servers within the cluster.

Enable admin_id (allow impersonation)

Specifies whether TEWS supports impersonation.

When this option is selected, TEWS uses the admin ID found in the SOAP message sent to the web service to authenticate the request.

When this option is not selected, the ID of the user who generated the request is used to authenticate the request.

SiteMinder Authentication

When CA Identity Manager is integrated with SiteMinder, you can configure SiteMinder to secure the URL for web services.

• None (default)

  SiteMinder does not secure the web services URL. in this case, use an external method to secure the web services URL.

• Basic Authentication

  SiteMinder basic authentication secures access to the web services URL.

  When selected, CA Identity Manager automatically creates the authentication schemes, domain, realm, rule, and policies required to secure the URL for web services. You can modify these configuration settings in the SiteMinder Policy Server user interface.

• Other

  SiteMinder is used to authenticate web service requests, but CA Identity Manager does not create the required policy objects. When this option is selected, users configure the policy objects in the SiteMinder Policy Server user interface.

Note: For more information about using SiteMinder to protect a web service URL, see the CA SiteMinder Policy Server Configuration Guide.
