Configure Web Service Tester Authentication

Administrator Guide

Create a web service test.

You can configure a number of security options in Workday Studio's Web Service Tester. The

Authentication

options enable you specify whether to apply WS-Security or basic authentication to SOAP request messages, or to call the internal

cc-authenticate

service.

In the

WS Tester

view, click

Send Options

Select the

Authentication

check box. As you complete the task, consider:

Option	Description
WS-Security UsernameToken	Enables you to specify a username and password for use with WS-Security, without having to select a WS-Security configuration file. Studio inserts a fragment of XML containing the username and password that you specify in the SOAP Header section of request messages that it generates.
Authentication Service	The Web Service Tester calls the internal cc-authenticate service using the username and password that you specify. If the username and password are valid on the server, Workday returns a session ticket which the Web Service Tester adds to the SOAP header when the request is sent. The server processing includes an interceptor that checks that the supplied session ticket is valid. By default, a connection to the cc-authenticate service is made once and reused. If you're stopping and starting servers, select Re-connect to the cc-authenticate service before each send to create a new connection for each request.
Basic Authentication (pre-emptive)	Enables you to specify a username and password for use with preemptive HTTP Basic Authentication.
