webMethods Microservices Runtime is a lightweight container for running microservices. Microservices Runtime provides a subset of the features of Integration Server.

Certain limitations apply when you use My webMethods Server containers with Microservices Runtime as a web service provider. For example, since Microservices Runtime does not support SAML authentication, all web service connectors for custom applications and layered products, running on My webMethods Server must switch to basic authentication.

Basic authentication for CAF web service clients is enabled by default when My webMethods Server is running in a container. You can configure the user name and password with which web service clients authenticate against Microservices Runtime or Integration Server on the CAF Application Runtime Configuration page. For more information, see Configuring Web Service Authentication for CAF Applications.
