Using Oracle Web Services Manager for Authentication

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 include:

Centrally define and store security policies applied to P6 EPPM Web Services.
Monitor run time security events such as failed authentication or authorization.
Avoid the need for developers to understand security specifications and security implementation details.
Visibility and control of the policies through a centralized administration interface offered by Oracle Enterprise Manager.
Note: If you select OWSM as the authentication mode for P6 EPPM Web Services, only OWSM authentication can be used. OWSM receives the authentication request and will perform the authentication instead of passing the authentication request to P6 EPPM Web Services.

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 Authentication page, select OWSM - SOAP.
Click Save.
