Authentication
|
Select one of the following:
Basic authentication instructs WebLogic Server to authenticate the client using a user name and password against the authentication providers configured in the security realm, such as a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory service and Windows Active Directory. The client must send its user name and password on the HTTP request header. Basic authentication is strongly discouraged over HTTP because the password is sent in clear text. However, it is safe to send passwords over HTTPS because HTTPS provides an encrypted channel. Warning: By default, all users (authorized and anonymous) can access a proxy service. To limit the users who can access a proxy service, create a transport-level authorization policy. See "Editing Transport-Level Access Policies under Security Configuration in the Using the AquaLogic Service Bus Console. The custom authentication token can be of any active token type supported by a configured WebLogic Server Identity Assertion provider. |
Dispatch Policy
|
Select a dispatch policy for this endpoint. Leave blank to use the default dispatch policy.
Dispatch policy refers to the instance of WLS Work Manager that you want to use for the service endpoint. For information about Work Managers, see
Using Work Managers to Optimize Scheduled Work and
Create Work Manager in the WebLogic Server Administration Console Online Help.
