# UDDI node API policy settings

This topic contains details of the API settings that you can configure for a UDDI registry node.

To view this administrative console page, click UDDI > UDDI Nodes > UDDI_node_id > API policies.

Note: This information applies only to UDDI Version 3. The settings for Versions 1 and 2 are not changeable; authentication tokens are required for publish requests, but not for inquiry requests (there are no custody transfer requests in Versions 1 or 2).

Authorization for inquiry

  Specifies whether authorization using the authInfo element is required for inquiry API requests. This setting is relevant only if the V3SOAP_Inquiry_User_Role is set to Everyone and WebSphere Application Server security is on.

  If WebSphere Application Server security is off, this setting is ignored. If WebSphere Application Server security is on and the V3SOAP_Inquiry_User_role is not set to Everyone, this setting is ignored.

  If this setting is true, an authorization token is required to complete the request. If this setting is false, an authorization token is not required; if one is supplied, it is ignored and the request is processed as if it the default user that is defined in the UDDI node settings made the request.

  Typically, UDDI registries are configured not to require authorization for inquiry API requests.
