Adding a Resource

In the Authorization page, you can add an individual SOAP or REST Resource from the configuration panel, or add multiple SOAP Resources using the Create Resources wizard.

Adding an individual Resource

Procedure

  1. From the toolbar on the Resource panel, click Add > Individual Resource to show the Resource configuration panel.

    Example

  2. Enter the following information as necessary.

    Field

    Description

    Name

    Enter a name for the Resource. You can also click [...] to view or edit the name if it is too long and can not be fully shown in the field.

    Resource

    Enter the URL of the Resource. You can also click [...] to view or edit the URL if it is too long and can not be fully shown in the field.

    • For SOAP services, enter the URL in the {targetNamespace}operationName format.

      • If you select equal in the Matching list, enter the full URL. For example, {http://airportsoap.sopera.de}getAirportInformationByISOCountryCode.

      • If you select regexp in the Matching list, enter a regular expression to be used to delimit the Resource. For example, \{http://airportsoap\.sopera\.de\}\w.

    • For REST services, enter the URL in the Endpoint/URI pattern format. It is recommended to use the regexp matching condition for REST services. Select regexp in the Matching list. In the Resource field, enter a regular expression to be used to delimit the Resource, for example, (/services)?/numberservice/doubleit/(\d)*.

    Matching

    Select from equal and regexp.
  3. Click Save to validate the configuration or Cancel to cancel the creation of the Resource.
    Information noteWarning: The Resource will be added to the Authorization repository only after creating an assignment to a Role. Otherwise the Resource will be lost once you leave this Web-Browser session.

Adding multiple SOAP Resources

Procedure

  1. From the toolbar on the Resource panel, click Add > SOAP Resource to show the Create Resources wizard.

    Example

  2. Select to create the Resource from a File, URL, Service Registry, or Service Locator. You can create multiple Resources from these options.

    • Select File to add a Resource from a WSDL file. Click Browse to browse to the WSDL file. Its WSDL tree structure appears in the wizard. Select one or more operations in the WSDL tree structure that you want to add.

    • Select URL to add a Resource from a URL. Enter the URL of a SOAP service and click Upload. The WSDL tree structure appears in the wizard. Select one or more operations in the WSDL tree structure that you want to add.

    • Select Service Registry to add a Resource from the Service Registry. The services that are registered in the Service Registry are listed in the wizard. Select the one you want to add. Its WSDL tree structure appears in the wizard. Select one or more operations in the WSDL tree structure that you want to add.

      If the Service Registry is not available, you will get an error message in the wizard.

    • Select Service Locator to add a Resource from the Service Locator. The services that are monitored in the Service Locator are listed in the wizard. Select the SOAP service you want to add. Its WSDL tree structure appears in the wizard. Select one or more operations in the WSDL tree structure that you want to add. Note that REST services and unavailable SOAP services are greyed out in the list and cannot be selected. To refresh the list, click the button.

      If the Service Locator is not available, you will get an error message in the wizard.

  3. Once you have selected one or more services or operations, you can click Finish to validate the creation and close the wizard or click Next to go to the next step.
    Information noteWarning: The Next and Finish buttons are disabled if no operation is selected.
  4. The operations that you have selected from File, URL, Service R, or SL are listed in the wizard.

    Example

    You can edit the name and the URL of the Resources.
    The matching criteria is equal default. You can change it to regexp in the Matching list. When you do this change, a dialog box appears prompting if you would like to change the URL of the Resource to a regular expression \{\w*\}<ServiceName>#\{\w*\}<OperationName> to be used to delimit the Resource. Click Yes to accept it or No to ignore it.
    Click the button to remove a Resource.
  5. Click Previous to add more Resources or click Finish to validate the creation and close the wizard.
    Information noteWarning: The Resource will be added to the Authorization repository only after creating an assignment to a Role. Otherwise the Resource will be lost once you leave this Web-Browser session.
