On the
Endpoints sub-tab, you manage the endpoints for a
selected environment.
Restriction: To manage endpoints, you must have the
Create, Edit, and Delete Environments privilege, which is set in
SBM Application Administrator.
Defined endpoints are displayed with the following information:
Column
|
Description
|
Name
|
A descriptive name for the endpoint.
|
URL
|
The address of the endpoint.
|
Authentication
|
The authentication method used for this endpoint.
|
After you create an environment, you can add endpoints, such as Web
services. You can later modify existing endpoints.
Important: Whenever you change
information associated with an endpoint, you must redeploy any affected process
apps.
To add an endpoint:
- Click
Create.
- Enter the name and URL for the endpoint.
- In the
Authentication drop-down list, select one of
the following options:
- None
Select
None if the endpoint does not require authentication.
- HTTP Basic
Select
HTTP Basic if the endpoint points to a Web service that
requires Basic Access Authentication and you want to provide the credentials
(user name and password).
Important: The
HTTP Basic credentials set in
Application
Repository
for an endpoint override Basic credentials that are set in orchestration
workflows. For example, if username
joe and password
pwd are specified in the orchestration,
but
Application
Repository
specifies
HTTP Basic with different credentials, the
Application
Repository
credentials are used instead. If you do not want to override the credentials
specified in the orchestration workflow, select
None in
Application
Repository.
- Security Token
Select
Security Token if the endpoint points to an
SBM
Web service or other internal endpoint.
Note: If you are defining an internal
Application EngineWeb
service endpoint, select
Security Token as the authentication
method. This is the optimal authentication method for internal endpoints
because the user’s credentials are seamlessly passed to the Web service call
without the need to hard code credentials ahead of time.
- Click
Save to save your changes.
To modify an endpoint:
- Select an endpoint from the list, and then click
Edit.
- Modify the name, URL, and authentication method as necessary.
- Click
Save to save your changes.
