Hi Frits,

are you sure about the correctness of this option?
a quick check on the internet reveals that this is actualy not the case

Does not work with Intermediaries

Ivan writes on his notes at page 233:

There are some drawbacks with SSL security:
• Does not allow intermediaries access to SOAP messages.
All of the communication between the server is encrypted, which makes it impossible for
intermediaries to process any messages.

Hi Alex,

I understand the confusion. Transport security doesn't work out of the box for intermediate nodes. In order to make transport security work you have to create two ssl endpoins. An intermediate soap node has to interpret the soap message (otherwise it is not an intermediate node in terms of soap processing) so the node has to have a SSL endpoint and setup a new SSL connection with the next node(or ultimate destination). This makes the intermediate nodes unsafe.

Does this explanation take away hour doubts?

ok, thanks. it does make sense the way you put it.

not sure what what you mean?
HTTP + SSL = HTTPS
LDAP + SSL = LDAPS
SMTP + SSL = SMTPS

if you say ssl does not work will all transport layer protocol, can you list down the protocol that ssl cannot work with?

Yes, you are right this answer doesn't make sense. I will correct the option.

Thanks for your feedback!

as of today, the latest version is 1/14.
it is still giving the same options.

Updates don't come immediately.

When there are a number of important changes they will be bundled and pushed to the server.

In my version of the course the answer: "It reduces the performance as each message has to be signed and encrypted, and decrypted on the receiving node." is stated as correct answer but the explanation says "it's the other way round" (the answer beeing a disadvantage of Message Level Security instead).

Yes, that is not correct. Rephrased the whole question.

Thanks for your feedback!
