OpenEdge supports a variety of security options for the WSA that can be used to control access to its various administrative and run-time functions. Generally, these security options include:

  • Requiring authorization to access WSA administration functions
  • Restricting WSA instance administration to a selection of authorized functions
  • Requiring authorization to retrieve WSDL files
  • Requiring authorization for clients to access Web services
  • Enabling or disabling access to WSA administration
  • Enabling or disabling client access to Web services
  • Securing the data connection between a Web service and the AppServer using TLS tunneling
