We are trying to expose a process as a web service over https. This is easily achievable with http however when exposing over https we are required to use ssl certificate which is not the issue and we are required to implemented some form of authentication as requested by our security department.
The process that we are currently building executes an API call to an external provider which in turn replies back with the requested reference and information. The external reply will be hitting our externally defined url using an entrust EV certificate and through API connect (data Power) map that request to our exposed web service process. This API connect internal web services call requires authentication and SSL certificate.
Anyone know how to implement the authentication part with Blue prism web service from API connect middleware ?
Blue Prism processes, exposed as SOAP web services, only support HTTP Basic Authentication. So you just need to add the Authentication header with a value of "Basic xxxx" where "xxxx" is the base-64 encoded value of username:password.
