Web Services Designer Configuration

The “DataServices” section in the Personify Enterprise Configuration (Config.xml) file controls the configuration of the Personify WSD.

As of the 7.4.2 release, the following are the new Personify Data Services configurations:

1. Following are the new <appSettings> key / values:
<add key="PersonifyVersion" value="Current" />

The current Personify version is the first 3 digits of the version without the SP information.

2. Indicates the type of authentication. Possible values – SSO, Personify.
<add key="UserAuthentication" value="SSO" />
<add key="SSOInterfaceType" value="SSO" />
<add key="SSOInterfaceExtension" value="SSO" />
<add key="SSOVendorUserParameterName" value="SSO USERNAME" />
<add key="SSOVendorPasswordParameterName" value="SSO PASSWORD" />
<add key="SSOWebServiceURLParameterName" value="SSO WEB SERVICE URL" />

The above values are stored in the Personify database in the APP_INTERFACE_PARAMETER_MASTER and APP_INTERFACE_PARAMETER_DTL tables. These are default values. Change the value ONLY if a different SSO service is used for e-Business and mobile.

SSO service endpoint name. Should be same as <system.serviceModel>\<client>\<endpoint> element name.

Basic authentication credentials used by shopping cart service.

3. The following are the new <system.serviceModel> settings:

The "name" attribute of the "service" element (highlighted below in yellow) must be set to a fully qualified name of the service entry point class (e.g., PersonifyDataServices.APA.PersonifyDataAPA).

<endpoint address=""binding="webHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="higherMessageSize"

contract="System.Data.Services.IRequestHandler" />

</service>

</services>

<binding name="serviceSoap" closeTimeout="00:01:00" openTimeout="00:01:00"

receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:01:00" allowCookies="false"

bypassProxyOnLocal="false" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"

maxBufferSize="65536" maxBufferPoolSize="524288" maxReceivedMessageSize="65536"

messageEncoding="Text" textEncoding="utf-8" transferMode="Buffered"

useDefaultWebProxy="true">

<readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxStringContentLength="8192" maxArrayLength="16384"

maxBytesPerRead="4096" maxNameTableCharCount="16384" />

<transport clientCredentialType="None" proxyCredentialType="None"

realm="" />

</security>

</binding>

</basicHttpBinding>

</binding>

</webHttpBinding>

</bindings>

<endpoint binding="basicHttpBinding"

bindingConfiguration="serviceSoap"

contract="PersonifySSO.serviceSoap"

name="PersonifySSOEndPoint" />

<endpoint address="http://localhost/PersonifyEBusiness/PersonifyShoppingCart.asmx"

binding="basicHttpBinding"

bindingConfiguration="serviceSoap"

contract="PersonifyShoppingCartSoap"

name="PersonifyShoppingCartSoap" />

</client>

The code highlighted above in red is required to make the HTTP endpoints unresolvable and the HTTPS endpoints resolvable. If you would like to change the setting back, you can either remove the tag completely from the web.config file or update from "Transport" to "None".

4. All the settings should be included as is unless mentioned below:

a. <endpoint binding="basicHttpBinding"

bindingConfiguration="serviceSoap"

contract="PersonifySSO.serviceSoap"

name="PersonifySSOEndPoint" />

Name of the service endpoint is a configurable value and can be set to any value. However,it should be the same value as the SSO Endpoint appSetting key.

b. <endpoint address="http://localhost/PersonifyEBusiness/PersonifyShoppingCart.asmx"

binding="basicHttpBinding"

bindingConfiguration="serviceSoap"

contract="PersonifyShoppingCartSoap"

name="PersonifyShoppingCartSoap" />

Address of the shopping cart service should be set to a valid service URI.

You can specifically set where the compilation output files will be generated in. Please see Compiling and Publishing Web Services for more information. By default, the output folder will be the “DataServicesGenerated” folder inside the Personify WSD's executable current folder. You can also set this config to an absolute path such as: C:\Temp (make sure you have access rights to this path). This setting is optional. Leaving it blank will be defaulted to the Personify WSD's executable folder.

· PublishLocalPath
This setting is optional. You can specify the default value for the path to the local deployment of the Personify Data Services. It is the path to the virtual folder on your local machine, where you would like to test your data services. For example: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\PersonifyDataServicesTest

This setting is optional. You can specify the default value for the FTP URI to the web server deployment of the Personify Data Services.

This config specifies the list of assembly files that will be published when the “Include Personify dlls” checkbox is checked. Please see Compiling and Publishing Web Services for more information. The assembly file, whose name in this list, needs to be available in the Personify WSD's executable current folder.
