Overview

AT&T GSMS’s WSDL Interface provides a web services interface for the submission of short messages towards AT&T Global Smart Messaging Suite powered by Soprano.

Access and Security

All 'send' commands require authentication, implemented via HTTP Basic Authentication. Since Basic Authentication is inherently insecure (e.g. username and passwords sent as clear-text over the Internet and therefore open to interception by a third party), an SSL-secured interface can be used.

For further security, VPN (Virtual Private Network) connectivity may also be made available.

Additional security policies can be applied to authorize your connection based on your application's source IP address.

Your Account Executive / Support Team will provide the IP address and TCP Port details of the AT&T GSMS connection.

AT&T GSMS provides additional resilience for their WSDL Interface through active monitoring and fail-over to maintain your service continuity.
