Invoking the Web Service
 
To add user accounts:
  1. (Optional) Include the authentication and authorization details in the header of the addUserAccount operation. See the section, "Manage Web Services Security" for more information on the header elements.
  2. Use the addUserAccountRequest elements to collect the user details that are listed in the preceding section.
  3. Use the addUserAccountRequest message and construct the input message by using the details obtained in preceding step.
  4. Invoke the addUserAccount operation of the ArcotUserRegistrySvc service to add accounts for the user.
    This operation returns the addUserAccountResponse message that includes the transaction identifier, authentication token, and user account details. See the following section for more information on the response message.
 
Interpreting the Response Message
 
The response message, addUserAccountResponse, returns the transaction identifier and the authentication token in the SOAP envelope header. These elements are explained in the following table. The SOAP body returns a success message if the operation was performed successfully. If there are any errors, then the Fault response is returned. See the section, "Error Codes" for more information on the SOAP error messages.
 
Element
 
 
Description
 
udsTransactionID
The unique identifier of the transaction that is performed using UDS.
authToken
The authentication token that is returned if the credential verification to access Web services was successful. This token eliminates the need for you to present the authentication credential for successive access to the Web services.
By default, the authentication token is valid for
