Web services and security

Web services respects the system’s security configuration.

  • If the host server is configured as no security, then no security is used for web services.
  • If the host server is configured as basic or advanced security, then Transport Security (SSL) is used for web services. Transport Security (SSL) provides a point-to-point security.

When upgrading security, the Security Upgrade tool updates the security configurations for web services according to the target security mode.

  • If a security upgrade changes the security mode to no security, then it removes security-related configuration from web services.
  • If a security upgrade changes the security mode to basic security or advanced security, then it adds security configuration to web services. It also imports the host server’s public key certificate and private key certificate into a keystore file, which is required for Transport Security (SSL).
