17 Jul 2007 Learn how to test HTTPS Web services by using IBM® Rational® Tester for SOA Quality. This tutorial explains creating a test, handling the HTTPS protocol with Web service recording, configuring the test, and replaying the test. It also offers a quick summary of SOAP security. Prerequisites
This tutorial is based on the example provided with IBM® Rational® Application Developer V6 for secured Web services. Please follow the instructions in these developerWorks tutorials to create a secured Web service: You can download free trial software for some of the products mentioned above. Please visit the IBM trial software page. You can also download the sample code available from these tutorials, but you still have to check the port numbers, add keys, and configure the SSL server, as described in Part 2 of those tutorials. After you do that, the IBM® WebSphere® secured server is ready to communicate with a client, and you can start this tutorial. You also need:
- Rational Tester for SOA Quality Version 7.0
- Security provider for Java™ Security API. This provider may implement services such as security algorithms (DSA, RSA, MD5, or SHA-1), key generation, conversion, and management facilities (for algorithm-specific keys, for instance). See
The Provider Class section of the Sun Microsystems™ "Java Cryptography Architecture" page for information about installing and running a particular type of security provider and about the cryptographic service provider. However, please note that you can use a security provider to implement any security service in Java that uses plug-in compatible architecture with a choice of implementations that fit underneath.
System requirements
- IBM® Rational® Performance Tester version 7.0.0.1 or later
- IBM Rational SOA Tester for SOA Quality version 7.0.0
- IBM® Rational® Application Developer Version 6.0.1.1 with all updates or Version 7.0 or later
- Updated integrated IBM® WebSphere® Application Server Version 6.0 or later test environment
