1.5 Prerequisites/Preconditions

This protocol operates against a Web site (2) that is identified by a URL that is known by protocol clients. The protocol server endpoint is formed by concatenating the URL of the Web site with an ending  ‘/’ character, the name of the SSP, and "/Search/SearchAdmin.asmx" together, for example http://www.contoso.com:56737/SharedServices1/Search/SearchAdmin.asmx.

This protocol assumes that authentication has been performed by the underlying protocols.
