Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Application Server:
Administration

Modifying the WSA’s default Web service security settings

When you install the WSA component, its security settings are preset, but modifiable. These settings affect:

WSA administrators.
Client developers.
Web service application users.

For more information on these security settings, including instructions for modifying them, see Chapter 7, " Web Services Adapter Security Configurations."

The WSA supports SSL communications with the AppServer with the use of a secure protocol. You control the default protocol for services deployed to a WSA instance by setting the value of the appServiceProtocol property in the default.props file. To enable SSL tunneling, you specify either AppServerS (if the service is registered with a NameServer) or AppServerDCS (for direct connection to the AppServer) as the protocol. For more information, see the "Security considerations for Web service administration" section.
