Web Service Authorization

Purpose: Use the Web Service Authorization screen to work with authentication requirements for Order Broker Cloud Service web services. By setting up and requiring user IDs and passwords for web services, you confirm that Order Broker Cloud Service authenticates the identity of the system submitting web service requests.

Authentication is always required. When Order Broker Cloud Service receives a web service request without a valid web service user and password, the request is refused with an error: Inbound Message failed validation.

Note:             Order Broker Cloud Service does not use web service authorization for web service requests that Order Broker Cloud Service sends to an external system, such as Oracle Maps Cloud Service.
