Using SSL/TLS Encryption

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

HTTPS is the Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer. SOAP/AM Server supports SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 standards for HTTPS. Using HTTPS causes all data communication between client and server to be encrypted.

 

You can access SOAP/AM resources through an HTTPS-enabled browser or library by using "https" as the 'scheme' in your URI. For example:

 

https://MySystem.MyDomain.com:8081/services/samples/bankdemo/bankdemo

 

accesses the bankdemo service though HTTPS.

 

Be sure to use the SOAP/AM secure TCP port number with the 'https' scheme. The actual port number (8081 in our example) is configured by your SOAP/AM Administrator. See your SOAP/AM Server Administrator for information.

 

The SOAP/AM Server Administrator can configure settings to require HTTPS in order to access a service. In that case, if you attempt to access the service using standard HTTP, a code '403 Forbidden' status is returned. See your SOAP/AM Server Administrator for more information.
