Inband and Outband 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: Inband registration or Outband registration.

If the producer requires registration and enabled for Inband registration, the consumer can provide the details through WSRP interface and register with the producer. The consumer also has an option to provide the registration handle obtained through Outband communication.

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