Security headers - Documentation for (archive) BMC Atrium Orchestrator Platform 7.6.03

You provide authentication credentials through WS-Security headers that are included in the SOAP requests. Both ORCA and legacy web services support users with admin and grid_admin permissions. ORCA also supports users with other role-based permissions.

ORCA web service security header


The ORCA web service is always available, so you must secure it properly:

  • The ORCA web service supports only a subset of the WS-Security specification, the WS-Security UsernameToken Profile 1.1.
  • The ORCA web service supports only the <wsse:PasswordText> type and does not support the <wsse:Nonce/> type.

The following sample shows the WS-Security header in an ORCA SOAP request:

<soapenv:Header> <wsse:Security xmlns:wsse="" soapenv:mustUnderstand="1"> <wsse:UsernameToken> <wsse:Username>admin</wsse:Username> <wsse:Password Type="">admin123</wsse:Password> </wsse:UsernameToken> </wsse:Security> </soapenv:Header>

Legacy web service security header


The legacy web service uses WS-Security headers with the <wsse:PasswordText> type. You must provide the credentials for the grid on which the workflow resides. The following sample shows the SOAP header for a legacy operation:

<soapenv:Header>	<wsse:Security xmlns:wsse="">	<wsse:UsernameToken>	<wsse:Username>admin</wsse:Username>	<wsse:Password>admin123</wsse:Password>	</wsse:UsernameToken>	</wsse:Security>	<grid-name xmlns="urn:realops.com:amp:workflow">SampleGrid1</grid-name>	</soapenv:Header>
