Learning about BMC Web Services security

Web service operations transmit data over the network and through the web. CMDB Web Services include a set of default security settings that you can customize for secure data transmission.

Transport-level encryption provides security for the complete communication (all the information exchanged between the client and the server).

The Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) compliance implementation of J2SE security for CMDB Web Services require the Java Cryptography Extension.

Enforcing security policy

Only the UsernameToken security policy is enforced by default. You can enable signature and encryption policies by using the PolicyUtlility script.
