Management
SOAP
TCP port
Specify the number of the TCP port that SOAP uses to communicate with remote
applications. Default is 448.
Security
Use these settings to control access to the SOAP interface.
Allowed addresses: List of IP address from which access to the SOAP interface is
permitted. To add an entry, specify the IP address and appropriate Mask, and then
select Add.
When the list is empty, access is permitted from any IP address.
Active interfaces: Enable the checkboxes that correspond to the interfaces from which
to allow access to the SOAP interface.
Security considerations
The SOAP server is configured for SSL/TLS mode, and the use of a X.509 client certificate
is mandatory for SOAP clients.
The SOAP server is configured to trust all client certificates signed by the default SOAP
CA installed on the service controller.
Users should generate and install their own SOAP CA private key/public key certificate to
protect their devices from unauthorized access. This is important because the default
SOAP CA and a valid client certificate are provided as an example to all customers. (See
Managing certificates on page 5-6.)
