Web Services

The Identity Manager Task Execution Web Service (TEWS) enables third-party client applications to remotely submit Identity Manager tasks to Identity Manager for execution.

The Web Services Properties screen lets you configure the TEWS for an environment. On this screen, you can do the following:

• Enable TEWS for an Identity Manager environment
• Generate task-specific Web Services Definition Language (WSDL) documents
• Configure SiteMinder to secure the web services URL, if CA Identity Manager integrates with SiteMinder
• Specify Web Security Services Username token authentication as an alternative to authentication by SiteMinder.

For information on issuing remote requests to Identity Manager through the Task Execution Web Service, see the Programming Guide for Java.
