SOAPDebugging
Select a higher level for the SOAP Debugging configuration option to log additional details to the application
log.
To access the application log, go to Administration > Plugin Manager > Application Log.
At the highest debugging level of 4, every SOAP request and response will be logged including full HTTP headers
and contents, which may be useful when trying to identify the exact cause of a problem.
Creating a SOAPAPI Operator
The SOAP API requires both authentication and authorization components.
l Authentication means that suitable credentials must be provided via the HTTP “basic” access
authentication method. A valid W-ClearPass Guest operator username and password must be provided.
l Authorization for the SOAP API requires that the corresponding user account has sufficient privileges to
perform the requested operation. In the W-ClearPass Guest role-based access control system, this requires
at a minimum that the SOAP API privilege is granted, as well as any additional privileges required for the
operation requested.
While the default administrative account will automatically gain SOAP API privileges, for security reasons it is
strongly recommended that a specific operator profile be created for use by SOAP API clients.
To create a suitable operator profile, go to Administration > Operator Logins > Profiles, then click the
Create a new operator profile link.
In the Privileges list, select either Full Access for the SOAP Web Services privilege, or choose Custom… and
then select either Read Only or Full for the SOAP API privilege.
You should also select suitable permissions for the Guest Manager privilege, depending on the type of
requests that will be made.
An example profile is shown below.
