"Define Web Service" - Security Issues

Hello all,
I have successfully defined a Web service with the wizard in ID. So I already have my WSDL file.
Now, I need to use this WSDL file from a Web Application that exposed to all public internet.
Now my question is, how is security managed for this web service? I mean, if the web service is exposed to any user of the web application in the internet, how can I assure that, the information in the WSDL file will not be used to access the XI Server with out authorization?
Who should be in charge of the security, the web application? the web service? or xi?
Thanks,
Felipe

If you are using the SOAP Adapter for receiving the information it provides the features like
1. HTTP without Client Authentication
2. HTTP with Client Authentication
Even you can select Security Prameters like
1. Web Service Security
2. S/MIME
If you configure all this then which other kind of security you are looking for.

Secured Web Service - security issue

Hi,
I have successfuly created Web Services Data Control, with authentication - userid/password (WSDL uses https).
I have created a simple page with Search form and ADF read-only table for results.
I'm getting following error when starting the page / executing the search:
<Utils> <buildFacesMessage> ADF: Adding the following JSF error message: Client hat SOAP-Fehler vom Server erhalten: Error on verifying message against security policy Error code:1000
oracle.j2ee.ws.client.jaxws.JRFSOAPFaultException: Client hat SOAP-Fehler vom Server erhalten: Error on verifying message against security policy Error code:1000
=====
How can I verify content in <soapenv:Header><wsse:Security ........> tags in the message sent to SOAP server? Is there a way how can I configure generated Header (e.g. Password Type, or xmlns:wsu ... )?
Thanks a lot for support,
DanielF
Edit: It seems, that Header is not composed properly (Security Subject: anonymous):
Target URL -- http://localhost:7101/FSS_Demo-ViewController-context-root/faces/WebServices2.jspx
<JAXWSMessageLogger> <errorLogException> Error while invoking endpoint "https://172.22.30.12:8114/DV900/AddressBookManager" from client; Security Subject: anonymous

How can I control the Header composition?

Web service expects header in following format:
<soapenv:Header>

BPEL process web service security issue

Hi guys,
I could use a web service based on BPEL process from local machine, but when I am calling the same service from one of the client machines i get following type of error
WARNING: Unable to connect to URL: http://server1:7777/orabpel/default/SendTransfer/1.0 due to java.security.PrivilegedActionException: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: Message send failed: server1:
23:14:16 HTTP transport error: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: java.security.PrivilegedActionException: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: Message send failed
any help is appreciated

In your service url http://server1:7777/orabpel/default/SendTransfer/1.0 , the "server1" should be a proper IP address recognized over your network. Otherwise you can add this name with corresponding IP address in hosts file entry.

Web Service Security issue. need advice!!!

I intend to create a webservice which provides a service for updating a clients data at a remote location. In other words, this service will update values stored in the database. Other than making sure that a user may not access others' data, are there any security concerns i should be wary of by allowing a web service to interact with a database?(although it will have to use the systems database handler class to do so)
I intend to secure the connection and also implement a verification method of the user.

Issue with Web Service Security

Dear Forum Members and Readers,
I am a beginner to Web Services, and facing an issue with WS-Security.
My issue seemingly is quite specific to my projects though, It will be great if you can provide me your views.
Context Description:
I am developing a Java Web Service application that is deployed on JBoss Application Server.
This application will communicate with two other applications those are not deployed in same JBoss Application Server.
These 2 applications are third party applications, one is C++ based web services and other is Java based web services.
My application gives a call to Third Party Application1 and receives the response back form it. It then passes this received response to Third Party Application 2.
Issue Description:
I now need to enable https paradigm among these 3 applications. (I need to implement web service security model here)
I started with looking in to JBoss specific WS-Security but found it not suitable in my case, as it requires to configure both the client and server. I have the control over my application but not on other 2 third party applications.
To this extent, I am unable to identify a solution that can address my issue.
Can anybody please provide me with initial thoughts or any reference material that might help me to give this a start.
Any clue will be highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance
Mukul

Actually, my SOAP messages contains some critical information that needs to be encrypted.You think that its critical information however your third party doesn't. If they would have had same thought they would have enabled the security. As I said earlier, you will have to discuss this with them.
Another solution (however I don't know the viability in your case) could be to deploy one component before each third party service. Your web service will call this new component (Which is installed in their environment i.e. local to third party web service) and new component will forward the request to third party service. Now you can apply security/encryption/decryption between your web service and your component.
I have had a look in to XMLEncrytion using that I can encrypt my SOAP messages but I wonder how would other tools decrypt that.My above comments answers this.
Is there anyway I can encrypt my SOAP messages (without having to customize third party tools) in this scenario ??My above comments answers this.

Generating WSDL using Integration Directory (Tools-Define Web Service)

Hi,
I have tested the "Define Web Service" tool in Integration Directory - some question;
1) It's a little bit frustrating to change the URL after clicking the "Propose URL" button - is it possible to configure somewhere the right URL
http://<srv>:<port>/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=<party>:<service>:<cchannel>
2) The generated WSDL is not according to the basic profile for WSDLs - wrong encoding="ISO-8859-1" - supposed to be "UTF-8"|"UTF-16" - is it possible to configure how the WSDL is generated?
I'm not sure, but I think there is a issue related to the type of binding for a binding.
3) A web service can consists of several methods - is there a tool for generating a WSDL for several interfaces?
It's "boring" to manually copy-paste from several generated WSDLs to one main WSDL for a web service
Anyway, by using XMLSpy and SoapScope, everything works just fine

a single data type will refer to multiple data types data.
You can refer one Data type in other Data Type but it wont be available under a different root node.....the root node will the the DT name under which you are referring the other DTs......you can do this by:
DT --> Give the appropriate name to a node --> While selecting the Type for this node select Data types --> select the DT from the list available....for this you should first include all the schemas in IR i.e. you should first create individual DTs by importing the schema (DT --> XSD --> Import Data Type Definition from File)
You have a huge list of schemas!

Abhishek.

Configure Web Services Security in PI 7.1

Hi,
I'm getting an error message when using the XI adapter to send encrypted data. I am using SAP PI 7.1 EHP1 SP3.
*Communication error Proxy calls are not permitted on sender or receiver side on the IS (client)
Error during message security handling in outbound channel: Security profile 'Sign and Encrypt Message' *
According to my research I need to get my basis team to configure Web Services Security. I've found the Netweaver 04 configuration guide but I don't think this is relevant. The following help has information on web services security but little or no information.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi711/helpdata/en/44/bc872fc60b7006e10000000a155369/frameset.htm
Is anyone able to point me towards the right document?

Web Services Security - What to expect

I am reviewing a vendor�s product that will run on a J2EE platform. One of the features of this product is a web services framework for developing web services. What I want to assess is how well they support web services security. They may say they rely on the underlying application server to �do the security stuff� � is this enough?
A further question is: what should I expect from different J2EE application server vendors in the area of security. Is there reasonable compliance between them or is there still an amount of proprietary implementation, that will ultimately result in application server lock-in, should I need a particular security feature?

I may have posted this to the wrong area so I have also now posted it to the web services technology forum (although the layout of the forums made this area look as though it was a sub set of web services). So excuse the duae posting, although arguably it is a portability issue standalone also.

Can anybody suggest a means of making SOAP Web Service calls from an 8.1.7.4 database ?I think you'll be very lucky to find anyone here who still has access to a version of Oracle that is that old....

It would probably help if you could post what code you've got and explain which function(s) it's complaining about, as I doubt people will want to guess.

Web Service Security Question

I have created a web service in the NetWeaver portal using a Portal Service. I have marked the service as requiring basic http authentication. However, when I call the web service from the Enterprise Portal Web Services Checker in NWDS it just let's me supply the params of the web service and no authentication. Any ideas?
I also noticed that my web service does not appear under the Web Services Container or Web Services Security section in Visual Administrator. Anybody have any idea why this is?
Thanks in advance.
Curtis

Hi Curtis,
My guess is that since you are logged into the Portal while calling this web service, it will use the current session cookie to authenticate automatically. I'm not sure on the second question, tried a restart?

Web Service Security with SAML - Invalid XML signature

Hello together,
we want to build a scenario where we want to use Web Service Security with SAML.
The scenario will be
WS Client (Java Application) -> WS Adapter -> Integration Engine -> WS Adapter-> CRM (Web AS ABAP 7.01 SP 3)
SAP PI release is 7.11 (SP Level 4)
We want to use the SAML Authentification from WS Client to PI and from PI to Web AS ABAP.
The SAML authentifications between the WS Client and PI works when there is no SAML auth between PI and CRM.
But we get following error at calling the CRM system when we want to communicate with SAML:
<E_TEXT>CX_WS_SECURITY_FAULT:Invalid XML signature</E_TEXT>
Has somebody an idea of the possible reason for the error.
Thanks in advance
Stefan

Web Services Security Problem

hi all,
I am publishling the BC4J Component(Application module) as a webservice. The particular web service method will be as follows. The method is returning the element object.
public Element getEmp(String searchString,String selectedItem, int pageNoInput)
return (Element)hits.writeXML(1,Row.XML_OPT_LIMIT_RANGE);
I am securing the web service by the instructions which are given in the following link
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/howtos/1013/wssecure/10gwssecurity_howto.html
Then i am creating the proxy client. when i run the proxy client it gives me the following exception

When i am removing the security for the web service it is giving the Element object.
The Problem is when i am securing the web service it is giving the above said exception.
Please help me regarding this... this is very urgent...

Hello,
When you are using WS-Security you need to secure the client too. So in your case the client is the ADF Data Control.
The way you should configure your data control is documented here:

Web service security in PI

Mine is PROXY to SOAP asynchronous.
PI consumes the service, my requirement is when PI calls the service I need to pass web service security in SOAP header.
so that at receiver statem they can validate the user using these.
When i am calling webservice from soapui with the header parameters
Username , Password and Password Type - PasswordText , it is able to get results. The soapui tool automatically adds the following in the soap header -
<wsse:Security soapenv:mustUnderstand="1" xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd">
