create a proxy for web service to add security

XML, Perl, Python, and other languages can be discussed here, even if it isn't PHP (We might forgive you).

create a proxy for web service to add security

Post by yacahuma »

I am wondering if anyone know about a solution to this problem. There are 100's of web services running on the intranet. Now they realize that anyone can call a service without permission. Is there a way to create somekind of proxy that will add security (username and password) and then forward the request to the server and then return the result back to the client? At the router level, only the proxy could call the server. But can this proxy be created without having to recreate all the current web services? Btw, all the services are in Java.

Thank you
