Key Locator Name	Name of the key locator. Data type String
Key Locator Classname	Name for the key locator class implementation. WAS has the following default key locator class implementations... com.ibm.wsspi.wssecurity.config.WSldKeyStoreMapKeyLocator Maps an authenticated identity to a key. This class is used by the response sender. If encryption is used, this class is used to locate a key to encrypt the response message. The com.ibm.wsspi.wssecurity.config.WSldKeyStoreMapKeyLocator class has the capability to map an authenticated identity from the invocation credential of the current thread to a key that is used to encrypt the message. If an authenticated identity is present on the current thread, the class maps the ID to the mapped name. For example, user1 is mapped to mappedName_1. Otherwise, name="default". When a matching key is not found, the authenticated identity is mapped to the default key specified in the binding file. com.ibm.wsspi.wssecurity.config.KeyStoreKeyLocator Maps a name to an alias. This class is used by the response receiver, request sender, and request receiver. The encryption process uses this class to obtain a key to encrypt a message, and the digital signature process uses this class to obtain a key to sign a message. The com.ibm.wsspi.wssecurity.config.KeyStoreKeyLocator class maps a logical name to a key alias in the keystore file. For example, key #105115176771 is mapped to CN=Alice, O=IBM, c=US. Data type String Defaults com.ibm.wsspi.wssecurity.config.KeyStoreKeyLocator com.ibm.wsspi.wssecurity.config.WSldKeyStoreMapKeyLocator
Key Store Password	Specifies the password used to access the keystore file.
Key Store Path	Specifies the location of the keystore file. Use ${USER_INSTALL_ROOT} as this path expands to the WebSphere Application Server path on your machine.
Key Store Type	Specifies the type of keystore file. The value for this field is either JKS or JCEKS... JKS Use this option if you are not using Java Cryptography Extensions (JCE). JCEKS Use this option if you are using Java Cryptography Extensions. Default JKS Range JKS, JCEKS
