UDDI node API policy settings

This topic contains details of the API settings that you can configure for a UDDI registry node.

To view this console page, click UDDI > UDDI Nodes > UDDI_node_id > API policies .

This information applies only to UDDI V3. The settings for Versions 1 and 2 are not changeable; authentication tokens are required for publish requests, but not for inquiry requests (there are no custody transfer requests in Versions 1 or 2).

Authorization for inquiry

Specify whether authorization using the authInfo element is required for inquiry API requests. This setting is only relevant if the V3SOAP_Inquiry_User_Role is set to Everyone and WAS security is on.

If WAS security is off, this setting is ignored. If WAS security is on and the V3SOAP_Inquiry_User_role is not set to Everyone, this setting is ignored.

If this setting is true an authorization token will be required to complete the request. If this setting is false, an authorization token is not required; if one is supplied it will be ignored and the request will be processed as if it was made by the default user defined in the UDDI node settings.

Typically, UDDI registries are configured not to require authorization for inquiry API requests.

Data type	Boolean
Default	False (cleared)

Authorization for publish

Specify whether authorization using the authInfo element is required for publish API requests. This setting is only relevant if the V3SOAP_Publish_User_Role is set to Everyone and WAS security is on.

If this setting is true an authorization token will be required to complete the request. If this setting is false, an authorization token is not required; if one is supplied it will be ignored and the request will be processed as if it was made by the default user defined in the UDDI node settings.

Authorization for custody transfer
