Configuration and Authorization of webservice in SAP Business ByDesign:

Web service APIs are configured using communication arrangements:

1. Work center view Application and User Management – Communication Systems: Create a communication system representing the remote system. Each communication system generates a technical communication user for authentication.
2. Work center view Application and User Management – Communication Scenarios: Create a communication scenario and add relevant web service APIs. The communication scenario generates an authorization role that is assigned to the communication user in the next step.
3. Work center view Application and User Management – Communication Arrangements: Create a communication arrangement using the communication scenario and communication system and enter the credentials of the communication user.
   As result the communication user is authorized to access all web service operations listed in the communication arrangement. The communication arrangement contains all information needed to consume the services incl. access URLs, WSDL downloads and service documentations.
4. In the communication arrangement you can download the WSDL, display the web service documentation and change the service credentials.

Authentication:

• User type: Technical user (communication user)
• Authentication protocols:

• • Basic authentication (user/password)
  • Certificates (You can upload a public key certificate that has been provided by the communication partner or create and download a PKCS#12 key pair file from ByD).

GTIN is passed in the field Product InternalID in the SOAP service request
