Exposing Web Services

• If you want to minimize memory use, and have multiple applications (such as Pocket, plus some in-house apps), then this is good
• It does, however, expose the Web Service functionality to the same network as the Web GUI, usually to the Internet in general
• This increases the ”attack area” of your site; someone with knowledge of the services could try to exploit them
• Every service call needs to furnish a valid set of credentials, so it’s not wide open to everyone – but still, there is some increase in risk
• It also binds clients to the same version as your Web GUI
• This dependency can be broken at need by installing multiple sites

To exposte web services start the Product Configuration - SuperOffice 7 Web (SuperOffice) from the Start menu.

Under Security tick the Expose Netserver WebServices (APP_PATH/Remote)
