pp108 : Personal External Access

Personal External Access

This topic describes the procedure for configuring personal external access to external Web services. External Web services are those with implementation type "UDDI".

Before you begin this task:
All OpenText Process Suite Platform Users will have access to this task

Personal External Access enables the end user to set the user name and password to be used by the UDDI connector when trying to invoke an external web service on behalf of the user. There are two ways to specify user specific credentials.

  • Using the Personal External Access UI
    • User has to specify the service end point URL, user name and password
  • Using the Credentials Dialog
    • This dialog pops up when the user is working with the application and the external web service invocation fails because of invalid or missing credentials
    • The user has to specify the user name and the password for the service end point URL
    • The request will be resent by the Process Platform framework

Note:

  • Credentials specified using the External Services Configuration by the administrator takes precedence over credentials specified by the user using Personal External Access UI.
  • Credentials dialog will pop up only when the administrator has not specified any credentials for the user's role
  • Credentials dialog will pop up only in case Authentication type is SAML 1.1./Basic
null
