Installing the Internal Web Services

The AE Internal Webservice was the previous method to communicate with an AE system and is supported only for partners that have legacy installations and integrations to maintain. For new installations and integrations, the REST API is the newer and preferred communication technology. For more information, see REST API

As of version 21.0, the Automation Engine and the Java components communicate using TLS/SSL. These components establish a connection with the Java communication process (JCP), which uses trusted certificates to prove its identity to other communication partners.

You can use the trustedCertFolder= parameter in the respective configuration file to define the path to the folder where the trusted certificates are stored. Otherwise, the certificates should be installed in the Java trust store. For more information, see Securing Connections to the AE (TLS/SSL).

Note: Only a subset of the components listed is available for Automic Automation Kubernetes Edition. For more information, see Installing the Additional Components - Container-Based Systems.

System Overview

Important! Please note that if you are building new integrations, we recommend that you use the AE REST API. Although Automic continues to support the AE Internal Webservices for our partners that have legacy integrations to maintain, the REST API is the newer and preferred communication technology. For information, see REST API
