Trusted ID evaluator collection

Use this page to view a list of trusted identity (ID) evaluators. The trusted ID evaluator determines whether to trust the identity-asserting authority. After the ID is trusted, WebSphere® Application Server issues the proper credentials based on the identity, which are used in a downstream call for invoking resources. The trusted ID evaluator implements the com.ibm.wsspi.wssecurity.id.TrustedIDEvaluator interface.
