Internal authentication mode for accessing HxGN EAM SOAP webservices - HxGN EAM - 12.0.1 - Feature Briefs - Hexagon

Starting with 12.0, HxGN EAM supports internal authentication mode for accessing SOAP webservices.

Using this authentication mode, the authentication is carried out against the internal EAM users, i.e., r5users record, irrespective of the setting of the install parameter LGNCON.

This authentication mode is primarily intended to support Service Account authentication where an application can consume the SOAP webservices of the HxGN EAM application using a service account.

Use these steps below to access the SOAP webservices using the Internal Authentication mode.

1. In the Postman application, create a new post request to the EAM Webservice endpoint.

2. Navigate to the Headers tab, and then add the header, AuthenticationMode, with a value of Internal.

   

3. Paste the EAM webservice request which is a SOAP request in the Body and select raw. The SOAP Header should contain the Service Account credentials.

   

4. Click Send. Upon successful authentication of the service account, along with successful business validations of the webservice request, you will get a successful response from the EAM application.
