Creating a Producer That Supports Registration

Registration is used to build a technical or business relationship between the consumer and the producer. While creating a producer, you can define any one of the following registration mechanisms: in-band registration or out-of-band registration:

If the producer requires registration and enabled in-band registration: the consumer can provide the details through WSRP interface and register with the producer. Consumer is also provided an option to register through out-of-band communication. That is, consumer can provide the registration handle obtained through out-of-band communication.

If the producer requires registration and enabled out-of-band registration: the consumer should obtain the registration handle through out-of-band communication and provide the registration handle during registration. Out-of-band registration happens with manual intervention such as phone calls, email, and so on. For a producer that supports out-of-band registration, the producer gets the details about the consumer through out-of-band communication, and it creates a registration handle for the consumer. The registration handle is communicated to the consumer through out-of-band communication.
