Authentication Using Oracle Web Services Manager

Oracle Web Services Manager (OWSM) provides the business agility to respond to security threats and security breaches by allowing policy changes to be enforced in real time without interrupting running business processes.

The benefits of using OWSM with P6 EPPM includes:

Centrally define and store security policies applied to the Web services.
Monitor run time security events such as failed authentication or authorization.
Avoids the need for developers to understand security specifications and security implementation details.
Provides visibility and control of the policies through a centralized administration interface offered by Oracle Enterprise Manager.

To configure the server to authenticate user credentials using OWSM:

Launch the Primavera P6 Administrator and log in.
In the Primavera P6 Administrator, click the Configurations tab, and expand Web Services/Security.
In the Security node, click Authentication:
On the Mode list, select OWSM.
Click Save.
