A collection certificate store is a collection of non-root, certificate authority (CA) certificates and certificate revocation lists (CRLs). This collection of CA certificates and CRLs are used to check the signature of a digitally signed SOAP message.

  6. Select one of the Web service description binding entries under the Port Component Binding section.

  7. Expand the Request Receiver Binding Configuration Details > Certificate Store List > Collection Certificate Store section.

  8. Click Add to create a new collection certificate store, click Edit to edit an existing certificate store, or click Remove to delete an existing certification store.

  9. Enter a name in the Name field.This name is referenced in the Certificate store reference field in the Signing info dialog.

  10. Leave the Provider field as IBMCertPath.

  11. Click Add to enter the path to your certificate store. For example, the path might be: ${USER_INSTALL_ROOT]/etc/ws-security/samples/intca2.cer. If you have additional certificate store paths, click Add to add the paths.
