| Attribute | Description |
|-|-|
| Property name | glide.basicauth.required.soapglide.soap.require_ws_security |
| Configuration type | System Properties (/sys_properties_list.do) |
| Category | [API and web service](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/IQQn4Mcc1sDrMeZ8Xzt9tg "The API and Web Service category ensures that applications have appropriate authentication, authorization and session management, validate all input that traverses a trust boundary and include security controls for all API types.") |
| Purpose | To enforce soap requests authorization. |
| Recommended value | true |
| Security risk rating | 8.1 |
| Functional impact | This remediation enforces a combination of authentication methods, in the form of basic authentication and system level access control. * It performs this authentication while retrieving data from tables/pages in the form of SOAP data on the instance. * It restricts any guest users who are currently accessing this data. * Create an account for a user who needs access to this content, with the necessary access control permissions. {#sc-soap-request-authorization__ul_xzr_nfp_nkb} To learn more, see [SOAP web service](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=c_SOAPWebService&version=australia&pubname=australia-api-reference&ft:locale=en-US) and [MID Server authentication credentials and SOAP requests](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=mid-authentication-soap-requests&version=australia&pubname=australia-servicenow-platform&ft:locale=en-US). |
| Security risk | (Medium) Without appropriate authorization configured on the data source SOAP requests, an unauthorized user can access sensitive content/data on the target instance. |
| References | [Authentication](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/nATJH8t6~ByQtwXumQGMnQ "ServiceNow's authentication validates the identity of a user who accesses an instance, and then authorizes the user to features that match the user's role or job function.") |
