In some cases WSDLs reside on secure sites requiring authentication. In certain instances, the WSDL is accessed through a proxy server.

VuGen supports the importing of WSDLs using security and WSDLs accessed through proxy servers. The following security and authentication methods are supported:

  • SSL

  • Basic and NTLM authentication

  • Kerberos (for the WCF and the .NET toolkits)

For more information about setting the connection information while importing the WSDL, see Add and manage services.

Note: This only applies for URL and UDDI type imports.
UDDI Data tab

The UDDI server, UDDI version, and service key.

You can view the details of the UDDI server for each service that you imported from a UDDI registry.

The read-only information indicates the URL of the UDDI server, the UDDI version, and the Service key.
