Dear experts,
I have generated a web service from SOAMANAGER, based on FM. The service is configured with the following:
- Security to none
- Transport protocol to HTTP
- No authentication method
- No ABAP service user/password
- Transport security to none
The WDSL is with HTTP but redirected to HTTPS and requires a certificate to be executed. I was expecting that there would be no redirection and that a certificate would not be requested.
Reading on ICM (Internet Communication Manager)[http://help.sap.com], ([http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/00/040f3a39ce8704e10000000a114084/frameset.htm]), it seems that the HTTP redirection to HTTPS is configured in ICM.
My questions are:
- Is it normal that HTTP is redirected to HTTPS?
- Is ICM the reference and wins over the web service configuration in SOAMANAGER?
- How are ICM and SOAMANAGER related then?
- Why is a certificate required if the web service has not security set whatsoever?
Thanks a lot for any hints or links to documents that would help understand.
Best Regards
Isabelle
