Web Service Authentication

This section describes configuration settings for web service authentication for each Smart Grid Gateway Adapter.  Each adapter section below includes guidelines for defining credentials to outbound web service requests and instructions for delivering credentials when calling back into the application via inbound web services.

For the purposes of this document, “Inbound” refers to requests originating from outside Smart Grid Gateway and are targeted at Smart Grid Gateway web services.  “Outbound” requests originate within Smart Grid Gateway and are targeted at web services hosted on other servers.
