Disabling Authentication for Web Services - Latest

Service-level authentication can be disabled for all SOAP or REST web services (or both). This is useful if you have your own high-level authentication built into the solution that is using, for example, Spectrum Spatial services.

1. Stop the Spectrum Technology Platform server.
2. Open the following file in a text editor:
   SpectrumDirectory\server\conf\spectrum-container.properties
3. Change the value of each property as needed. For example, to disable authentication for all SOAP services:

   spectrum.security.authentication.webservice.enabled.REST=true
   spectrum.security.authentication.webservice.enabled.SOAP=false

   Note: For Spectrum Spatial, REST services also include OGC web services.
4. Save and close the properties file.
5. Start the Spectrum Technology Platform server.
