Web Service Authentication

The Web Service component of Oracle Utilities Operational Device Management is housed in Oracle WebLogic and utilizes the native Web Services security mechanism supported by that server. From an authentication point of view:

• The Web Service is deployed using an administration account using the utilities provided from the product online (for developers) or using command line utilities.

• The Web Service is managed using the administration account using the administration console provided with Oracle WebLogic.

• Oracle WebLogic allows security policies and security access rules to be configured at an individual Web Service point of view. Any of the valid policies and security rules supported by Oracle WebLogic can be used.

• Web Service management products such as Oracle Web Services Manager can be used to augment security for Inbound Web Services.
