Web Services Communications
DirX Access services can also be used through RESTful and SOAP Web services.
The following services use a WSDL binding to SOAP:
-
-
A WS-Trust STS and SAML metadata management Web service.
-
-
-
An SPML-based provisioning Web service.
-
The SOAP Web Services are implemented according to WS standards using an XML-based protocol. The interfaces are described by means of WSDL. These services can be PEPs or other applications. The corresponding chapter describes these WSes and their use.
The following services are built according to the RESTful principles and are precisioned by the Open Data Protocol (OData):
-
-
Providing all SSO-related tasks under a single endpoint: initial authentication, SSO, authorization, RBA, request injection, etc.
-
-
-
Providing deployment of system components, and additionally actions; for example, keystore management.
-
-
-
Providing management of the configuration data, incorporating a fine-grained authorization of the requested tasks.
-
-
-
Services for client applications to provide client functions like session management, authentication and authorization.
