SPML Configuration

Waveset provides an SPML schema that defines the object class and extended request information needed to configure SAP Access Control integration. The schema is defined in InstallDir/sample/spml.xml. You must edit this file before loading it into Waveset. Specifically, you must uncomment the IDMperson object. This object includes a change to the standard person object, as described in the comments contained in the file.

After this task has been performed, the file must be imported and the configuration finished following the steps in Oracle Waveset 8.1.1 Web Services.

SAP Access Control tries to use HTTP basic authentication when it creates a connection to the Waveset system. If the container in which the Waveset server runs does not support basic authentication, a connection will be established without authentication. The user name and password specified in SAP Access Control as part of the connector cannot be used to create an Waveset session. No request will be processed by Waveset without a valid session. This means that you must configure the proxy user and password for the SPML interface as described in Editing the Waveset.properties File in Oracle Waveset 8.1.1 Web Services. The proxy user will allow anyone access to the SPML interface and care should be taken to shield the URL from misuse.
