Response consumer (receiver) binding configuration settings

Use this page to specify the binding configuration for the response consumer.

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 Response consumer (receiver) 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 server or cell level. The default binding that is 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.
