4.2 Add a Secure Transport

HydraExpress supports security on the client in two ways, through authorization and through support for HTTPS.

To implement authorization, you must set two transport properties before invoking the service. For example:

void invoke_sayHello(GreetingBindingProxy& proxy)
{
  proxy.setTransportProperty("user", "myUser");
  proxy.setTransportProperty("password", "myPassword");
  ...
}

To implement your client in HTTPS, simply point it to the HTTPS transport that HydraExpress provides. One way to do this is by specifying an HTTPS transport in the location attribute of the WSDL.

Open the WSDL file HelloWorld.wsdl. Save it under a new name, such as HelloWorldExtended.wsdl. Under the service element, replace the line

<soap:address
    location="http://localhost:8090/helloworld/HelloWorld"/>

with an HTTPS address, as follows:

<soap:address 
    location="https://localhost:8443/helloworld/HelloWorld"/>

Note the port change from 8090 to 8443. HydraExpress's default HTTP port is 8090, while its HTTPS port is 8443.

When you generate code based on this new WSDL, the generated sample client then uses HTTPS by default and no other action is required. Several other simple options are also available for using HTTPS with your client. See Section 7.3.5.
