Introduction to Transparent API

GSMA specification v3.2
The Transparent APIs are all part of the GSMA specification version 3.2.
The KPN RSP Gateway has not implemented all GSMA SGP.02 v3.2 API calls. Upon request more API calls can be implemented. Please contact support for more information.
On the website of GSMA the complete Remote Provisioning Architecture for Embedded UICC Technical Specification (SGP.02 v3.2) has been published.
About the Transparent APIs

The following diagram illustrates the type of interactions between you and the KPN RSP Gateway.
SOAP
The Transparent APIs are all SOAP APIs.

mTLS
mTLS, short for mutual TLS authentication, is the mandatory authentication method for all incoming and outgoing connections of the Transparent API. Learn more about mTLS.
WS-Security
WS-Security is an optional additional authentication method for incoming connections. We implemented the UsernameTokenProfile as prescribed by the GSMA specifications.
Example from SGP.02_v3.2 page 276
<S11:Envelope xmlns:S11="..." xmlns:wsse="...">
  <S11:Header>
  …
  <wsse:Security>
    <wsse:UsernameToken>
      <wsse:Username>MyUsername</wsse:Username>
      <wsse:Password>MyPassword</wsse:Password>
    </wsse:UsernameToken>
    …
  </wsse:Security>
