Security API for the UDDI Version 3 Registry

In UDDI Version 1 and Version 2 the security API was part of the Publish API. In UDDI Version 3 the security API is independent.

Use the IBM UDDI Version 3 Client for Java (see IBM UDDI Version 3 Client) to access programmatically all API calls and arguments supported by the UDDI Version 3 Registry. You can also access the API functions graphically by using the UDDI user interface, however not all of the functions are available with this method.

The UDDI Version 3 Registry supports the following Security API calls:

discard_authToken

Used to inform a node that a previously obtained authentication token is no longer required and should be considered invalid if used after this message is received. The token is to be discarded and the session is effectively ended.

get_authToken

Used to request an authentication token in the form of an authInfo element from a UDDI node.

For full details of the syntax of the above queries, refer to the UDDI Version 3 API specification at http://www.uddi.org/pubs/uddi_v3.htm.
