Authentication

Yes, if you have a centralised endpoint you can manage each PMS via this endpoint. The HotelCode will distinguish each property in the requests you make to pmsXchange.

Hotel Code is the Property Code/ID supplied by the SiteMinder Onboarding team to setup a new hotel connection. This is used to identify the hotel you would like to update availability, restrictions and rates.
Username is created by the SiteMinder Onboarding team for individually deployed PMSs to send inventory updates. Username must be attached together with Password in the messages' Header for authentication at the hotel level.

Because the web service is expecting a specific type of request, it will 405 when there is regular http requests from a browser. Please use the OTA_PingRQ to verify that the test web service is up and running and that it is able to connect.

We have recently updated our security requirements in our Test and Production environment which mean TLS protocols (1.0) are no longer accepted (TLS v1.0 and all versions of SSL have become obsolete and no longer comply with PCI regulations). Ensure you’re using TLS 1.1 or TLS 1.2 protocols.
