Web Services

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

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

• Enable TEWS for a CA Identity Manager environment.
• Generate task-specific Web Services Definition Language (WSDL) documents.
• Allow impersonation.
• Specify that the Admin password is required for authentication.
• Configure CA SiteMinder® authentication.
• Configure CA SiteMinder® to secure the web services URL, if CA Identity Manager integrates with CA SiteMinder®
• Specify Web Security Services Username token authentication.
• Specify at least one of the three possible authentication types.

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