Implementing Secure Outbound Web Services

Here is an article by Babu Rajendra Prasad Mungara a reader of Siebel Unleashed describing basic details of implementing a Secure Outbound Web Service is Siebel. Though it does not provide implementation steps in detail but it outlines the steps that you need to perform to accomplish that. 

• Consume the WSDL File provided by External System
• This will create an Integration Object or multiple Integration Objects and a Proxy Business Service
• Compile these Objects into SRF
• This Proxy Business Service can be invoked through Workflow Process

For this Proxy Business Service, additionally we need to  provide the below mentioned additional parameters to build a Siebel WebServices Security Headers in SOAP Header

P.S: Before Simulating the Workflow, Create a Section called EAISubsys under client CFG File

[EAISubsys]
EnableServiceArgTracing = TRUE


• After Simulating the Workflow Process (Proxy Business Service including username and Password), go to TOOLS\Log Directory
• You can observe *.dmp files under TOOLS\Log Directory
• Under this a File Called Outbounddispatcher-output_args.dmp file will be created, this is the file which consists of Siebel WebServices Security Headers as mentioned below
