Request generator (sender) binding configuration settings

Use this page to specify the binding configuration for the request generator.

To view this WebSphere® Application Server administrative console page, complete the following steps:

1. Click Applications > Enterprise applications > application_name.

2. Under Related items, click EJB modules or Web modules.

3. Click the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI).

4. Under Additional properties, click Web services: Client security bindings.

5. Under Request generator (sender) binding, click Edit custom.

The security constraints or bindings are defined using the application assembly process before the application is installed.

If the security constraints are defined in the application, either define the corresponding binding information or select the Use defaults option on this panel and use the default binding information for the cell or server level. The default binding provided by WAS is a sample. Do not use this sample in a production environment without modifying the configuration. The security constraints define what is signed or encrypted in the Web services security message. The bindings define how to enforce the requirements.

Use defaults

Select this option if you want to use the default binding information from the server or cell level.

If you select this option, WAS checks for binding information on the server level

If you select this option, WAS checks for binding information on the server level. If the binding information does not exist on the server level, the application server checks the cell level.
