Problem Creating a HTTP Service in SOAMANAGER

Question

Hi all,
I am having difficulty in setting up a HTTP Service in SOAMANAGER.
I have generated the Enterprise Service - Service Definition Succesfully in SAP from a RFC Enabled Function Group( this is working fine).
I then go into SOAMANAGER -> Single Service Administration -> Select the Service -> Select the Configurations Tab -> Create Service
The problem I have is that when this comes up under the
Provider Security Tab -> Transport Guarantee -> Communication Security
I do not have a radiobutton for "None" (this is what I want to select to create a HTTP service.)
I have the options
- SSL over HTTP (Transport Channel Security)
- Asymmetric Message/Signature / Encryption
- Symmetric Message/Signature Encryption
Secure Conversation
If you see William Li's blog /people/william.li/blog/2010/02/15/how-to-avoid-authentication-when-accessing-ws-provider-service you item 3.6 shows how the screen is supposed to look (with the additional option of "None" as the first radiobutton).
My current workaround is to define the service and then go into SICF, select the service and change the Security Requirement from SSL to Standard on the Logon Data Tab. Although this works it is not the ideal solution.
I'm wondering if there is something we are missing in our soap run time, perhaps a configuration setting we need to set in srt_admin. (I believe this option was there before we did a service pack upgrade)
Has anyone experienced this before?

Hi John,
I've experimented something like that before. I think solution was:
- Search the webservice in SE80, Repository Information System -> Enterprese Services
- Enter the service definition
- Go to 'Configuration' tab
- Click on 'Transport Security'/'Authentication'
- In profile setting, switch it for 'Low' or 'None'
I believe this will turn available the option you're looking for.
Kind regards,
Garcia
