SOAP
The controller provides a SOAP interface that can be used by SOAP-compliant client
applications to perform configuration and management tasks.
An MSM SOAP/XML SDK zip file is available at www.hp.com/networking/SOAP-XML-SDK.
Look for the file corresponding to your MSM software version.
Configuring the SOAP server
Select Controller >> Management > SOAP to open the SOAP server configuration page.
By default, the SOAP server is enabled (SOAP server configuration in title bar is checked).
Server settings

Enable this option to configure the SOAP server for SSL/TLS mode. When enabled, the
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol must be used to access the SOAP interface.
Using client certificate
When enabled, the use of an X.509 client certificate is mandatory for SOAP clients.
HTTP authentication
When enabled, access to the SOAP interface is available via HTTP with the specified
username and password.
