What We’re Not Planning on Supporting
LightWave Server does not support the following SOAPam Server features:
Connection Security - SOAPam Server allowed services to be configured to require an SSL/TLS connection. This can be managed in LightWave Server using appropriate service port configuration. In addition, TLS connections for modern web services is the norm.
User Impersonation - SOAPam Server allowed services to be configured to invoke serverclass I/O while impersonating a specified Guardian user. We are not aware of any customers using this feature. This ability is currently on the LightWave Server roadmap.
If you have a need for these features, please contact NuWave support.
