I've written my web services using apache axis2. Now I wish to make my web services secure to prevent unauthorized access.
Can there be any means by apache axis through which we are able to redirect each web service request to particular web service ? to ensure that it is going to do authentication as well as on effective authentication it'll forward the request to particular web service.
Thanks,
Ajinkya.
you should use Apache Rampart[1] with this. Rather than redirecting to a different web service you should use UT (user title token) to authenticate the uses. Using WS-Security is the right way to have a web service. This[2] is needed you.
Should you interested WSO2 AS[3] supplies a integrated atmosphere for web service deployment and add security having its GUI. Further as it is according to WSO2 carbon platform you are able to integrate your user store with WSO2 AS after which authentication is supplied as they are.
