In the Configurations drop-down list, select your configuration.
In the sidebar expandWeb Services, then expand Security and select Message Protection.
1. Select Require Timestamp if incoming SOAP messages must contain the WS-Security Timestamp.
2. Select Require Digital Signatures for Incoming Messages to require that incoming SOAP messages are signed and conform to Web Service Security 1.1 standards.
  Note To access Web Services, you must configure all Web Services settings to get encryption and digital signatures to work. If you do not want to use encryption or digital signatures, you must set this setting and the Require Encryption setting to false.
3. Select Require Encryption for Incoming Messages to require incoming SOAP messages are encrypted and conform to Web Service Security 1.1 standards. When this setting is selected, at least one element in each P6 EPPM Web Services request message must be encrypted.
