Introduction

Thank you for reading the OAS Authentication SDK SOAP Reference. This guide is a reference for developers who want to use the OneSpan Authentication Server SOAP interface. We highly recommend to use this document together with the OAS Authentication SDK Programmer's Guide.

If your organization is impacted by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), ensure that the SOAP communicator interface is configured to use SSL. If an OneSpan Authentication Server component does not support SSL, the SOAP interface must be configured without SSL; however, to be GDPR-compliant, you must set up an encrypted VPN tunnel to secure the communication.

For more information about GDPR, refer to the OneSpan Authentication Server General Data Protection Regulation Compliance Guide.
