Logging in to Service Console

You can log in to the UDDI Service Console as one of these four roles: read-only, subscribers, publishers, and administrators. These roles are described below.

•	readonly: has inquiry permission which means you can invoke the inquiry API defined by the UDDI 3.0.2 spec.

•	subscribers: has inquiry and subscription permissions.

•	publishers: has inquiry and publication permissions.

•	administrators: has all permissions that the above roles have and also includes permission to log in to Administration Console.

• If you have the subscribers role and need to publish subscriptions using asynchronous notification, you need to obtain the publishers role. • If you have the publishers role and need to perform subscribing operations, you also need to obtain the subscribers role. • Currently, user role control is not provided in UDDI Service Console.

For more information about user management, refer to TIBCO ActiveMatrix Runtime UDDI Server Administrator’s Guide.

For more information about the Administration Console, refer to the Administration Console section in TIBCO ActiveMatrix Runtime UDDI Server Administrator’s Guide.

If the username or the password is invalid, you will see the following message shown on the login page:

The username or password is incorrect. Please try again.

• Host and Port in the URL used to access UDDI Service Console are set in the srvconfig.xml file. For more information, refer to TIBCO ActiveMatrix Runtime UDDI Server Administrator’s Guide. • If Websphere Application Server is used as the web container, the URL used to access UDDI Service Console needs to be in the format of http://Host:Port/uddisc/index.html. • If UDDI Service Console is deployed on an HTTPS web server, the URL used to access UDDI Service Console needs to be in the format of https://Host:Port/uddisc/ • UDDI Service Console does not support anonymous login. Even on the server side and with anonymous inquiry enabled, you must provide a valid username and password to log in to UDDI Service Console.

The Browse UDDI Hierarchy Page

After you successfully log in to Service Console, the Browse UDDI Hierarchy page appears, as shown in Figure 8.

Figure 8 The Browse UDDI Hierarchy Page

The Browse UDDI Hierarchy page contains three columns: Business, Service, and Binding Template. It also has a Description section.

•	The Business column lists the names of the business currently registered in TIBCO ActiveMatrix Runtime UDDI Server. When the page first appears, the column lists all the business objects maintained in the registry in alphabetical order.

•	The Service column lists the services of the currently selected business.

•	The Binding Template column lists the binding templates of the currently selected service. To display the binding templates of a service, you must select the service first. The binding templates are listed by their business keys, that is, in the order the binding templates are added to the service.

•	The Description section displays the description of the object currently selected.

Viewing the Detailed Information of an Object

To view the detailed information of an object shown in the Browse UDDI Hierarchy page, follow these steps:

1.	Select a desired object in the corresponding column.

Because the objects listed in the UDDI Hierarchy page are organized in a hierarchy, you must first select the root object and parent object to select a service object or a binding template object.

2.	Click the Details button or double-click the selected object to open the object information page, as shown in Figure 9.

The object information page has two panes and a tool bar:

−	The object hierarchy pane is on the left. It displays a four-level object tree that reflects the current object hierarchy. The root of the tree is the currently selected business or the business to which the currently selected service or binding template belongs to.

−	The object information pane is on the right. It displays the information about the currently selected object. It contains one or multiple tabs depending on the object you select.

−	The tool bar is on the top. You can perform the following operations using the buttons on it.

Click the Back button () to return to the UDDI Hierarchy page.

Click the New button () to create a object.

Click the Delete button () to remove a selected object.
