RE: [WEB400] RFI: XML, HTTPS, SOAP & AS/400

["Bartell, Aaron L. (TC)" <ALBartell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

SOAP is just an envelope for your XML that includes possibly useful
information for XML messaging.  So if you can parse XML then you can get
SOAP documents.

Go here to learn the basics about SOAP.

If they are sending requests to you that need to have SSL on them, then you
need to obtain a digital certificate from a company like Verisign and
install that digital certificate in the Digital Certificate Manager.

Dear all,

Please excuse me if I sound like i'm talking out of my backside...

I have a client who wants to send and receive XML documents to and from our
AS/400.  The communications MUST be secure (HTTPS?), and he's talking about
using SOAP to do this.

Not knowing anything about networks, and having only heard vaguely about
SOAP (the internet kind, thankyou!!), is this possible, and if so what is
involved on the AS/400 side of things?

The XML side I can deal with , so I'm not totally useless guys!!
