10 Accessing the Chargeback Web Service Interfaces

Accessing WSDL

The Web Service Description Language or WSDL (see Reference [1]) definition of chargeback operations can be accessed from any installed chargeback system using a web browser. For example, if the software is installed on a server with an IP address of <cms-ip-address>, enter the following in the web browser to access the WSDL:

https://<cms-ip-address>:55443/hpio/chargeback/soap/v1?wsdl

The browser will show the formal XML definition of the web service interface.

The WSDL also can be accessed through a command line interface (CLI) using a BAT file. The chargeback.bat tool is found in the default location at C:\Program Files\HP\Matrix

infrastructure orchestration\chargeback\bin.

Security

The chargeback web service is accessible only over HTTPS. The service uses WS-Security UsernameToken authentication in text form. A username and password of a registered IO administrator is required to access the web service interface. A WS-Security timestamp header is also required.

Authorization

If the presented username/password corresponds to a registered IO user who has the role of Administrator, the web services returns the requested data. For username/password corresponds to registered users with the role of Architect or User, the web services will return an authorization error.
