SOAP Web Services Configuration

You can configure the CA SDM SOAP Web Services with entries in special web configuration files. The following table summarizes the names and descriptions of the configuration options:

Option Name

Description

design_mode_stubs

Sets the Web Service to design mode (CA SDM only).

require_secure_logon

Requires the login() and loginService() web methods to be called with a secure protocol, such as https.

require_secure_connection

Requires that every web method be called with a secure protocol.

disable_user_logon

Disables both login() and loginService() web methods, so only loginServiceManaged() can be used to log in.

CA SDM adds protection to the integrity of the running Tomcat server by verifying the length of the attribute values that pass to Web Service methods. By default, web service calls return an Axis Fault if the length of an attribute exceeds 900,000 bytes.

You set the following parameters in the deploy.wsdd file:

fatal_max_string_length

Sets the length of the largest attribute value that a web service method accepts.

Default: 900,000 bytes

validate_parameters

Sets whether the attribute value length checking is performed. Set the parameter to 0 to turn off the validation.

Default: 1 (on)

exception_methods

Displays a comma-delimited list of Web Service methods that are exempt from the attribute value length validation.
