Need help with service-config-manager and socket activated services

We are adding a new function to allow the BMC admin to disable the 
dropbear SSH server [issue 1763][].  This consists of a D-Bus interface 
controlled by [service-config-manager][] and an enhanced Redfish REST API.

We need help to understand how to enhance service-config-manager to work 
with socket activated services such as dropbear.  For example, to 
disable dropbear, is the correct action to perform something like this?:
   systemctl stop dropbear.socket
   systemctl disable dropbear.socket
