Registering with the Producer

For producers that require registration, the consumer must register to use the producer. The consumer passes registration data to the producer and the producer validates the registration data provided by the consumer. If the registration data is deemed valid, the producer returns the consumer a registration handle. The consumer uses the registration handle for all further communications with the producer.

If in-band registration is supported in the producer, the consumer can register through the WSRP registration port type. If in-band registration is not supported by the producer, the consumer administrator must manually obtain the registration handle from the producer administrator.
