Use the glide.basicauth.required.wsdl property to designate if
incoming WSDL (Web Services Description Language) requests should require basic
authentication.
If glide.basicauth.required.wsdl is not set to the recommended
value of true, then , then this will disable Basic Authentication for WSDL requests.
WSDL is a protocol that is used to describe web services such as instance table schemas,
and is not a mechanism for sharing the data within tables. Setting this property to true
allows for disclosure of table schemas to unauthenticated users.  
Hinweis:  
If you choose not to require basic authentication for incoming WSDL requests, you must modify Access Control (ACL) rules to enable guest users to access the WSDL content.

Warnung:  
This is a safe harbor property, meaning the value can't be altered once it's changed. It is non-revertible.

| Attribute | Description |
|-|-|
| Property name | glide.basicauth.required.wsdl |
| 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 basic authentication on WSDL requests. |
| Recommended value | true |
| Security risk rating | 5.3 |
| 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 WSDL data on the instance. * It restricts any guest users who are currently accessing this data. If applicable, you may need to create a new account for users who need access to this content, with necessary access control permissions. {#sc-wsdl-request-authorization__ul_knw_w2p_nkb} |
| Security risk | (Medium) Without appropriate authorization configured on the WSDL web services, an unauthorized user can get access to sensitive WSDL content/data on the target instance. |
