4 Security Considerations for Developers

This chapter provides information for developers about security considerations while integrating with Oracle Communications MetaSolv Solution (MSS).

MSS API Security

MSS provides several ways to integrate the different APIs.

  • CORBA APIs

    To access the CORBA APIs, a valid MSS User ID is required. See MSS CORBA API Developer's Reference for more information.

  • EJB APIs

    MSS EJB APIs are secured using WebLogic Server authentication where access to any EJB requires a user assigned the Security role MSSRole. The MSSRole is created during MSS installation.

  • Web Services

    MSS Web Services are secured using the WS-Security feature where access to any MSS Web Service requires valid WebLogic credentials. See MetaSolv Solution Web Services Developer's Guide for more information.
