Authentication or Token
To interact with Fabric Manager Web Services, the user must obtain a token through LogonWS and
attach this token to the header message of every SOAP requests. Fabric Manager Web Services verifies
user credentials using a unique token string that is administered by LogonWS. At any given time,
HTTPS should be deployed to secure the communication channel. The following example displays the
format of the header message:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<SOAP-ENV:Header xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"

</m:Token></SOAP-ENV:Header>
