Token consumer configuration settings

Use this page to specify the information for the token consumer. The information is used at the consumer side only to process the security token.

To view this administrative console page, complete the following steps:

  1. Click Security > Web services.

  2. Under Default consumer bindings, click Token consumers > token_consumer_name or click New to create a new token consumer.

To view this administrative console page for the server level, complete the following steps:

  1. Click Servers > Application servers > servername.

  2. Under Security, click Web services: Default bindings for Web services security.

  3. Under Default consumer bindings, click Token consumers > token_consumer_name or click New to create a new token consumer.

To view this administrative console page for v6.x.applications on the application level, complete the following steps:

  1. Click Applications > Enterprise applications > appname.

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

  3. Under Additional properties, one can access the signing information for the following bindings:

    • For the Response consumer (receiver) binding, click Web services: Client security bindings. Under Response consumer (receiver) binding, click Edit custom. Under Required properties, click Token consumers.

  4. Click New to specify a new configuration or click the name of an existing configuration to modify its settings.

Before specifying additional properties, specify a value in the Token consumer name, the Token consumer class name, and the Value type local name fields.

Token consumer name

Name of the token consumer configuration.

Token consumer class name

Name of the token consumer implementation class.

This class must implement the com.ibm.wsspi.wssecurity.token.TokenConsumerComponent interface.

Part reference

Specifies a reference to the name of the security token that is defined in the deployment descriptor.

On the application level, when the security token is not specified in the deployment descriptor, the Part reference field is not displayed.

Certificate path

Specifies the trust anchor and the certificate store.

We can select the following options:

None

If you select this option, the certificate path is not specified.

Trust any

If you select this option, any certificate is trusted. When the received token is incorporated, the certificate path validation is not processed.

Dedicated signing information

If you select this option, one can specify the trust anchor and the certificate store. When you select the trust anchor or the certificate store of a trusted certificate, configure the collection certificate store before setting the certificate path.

 

Trust anchor

We can specify a trust anchor for

the following bindings on the following levels:

Binding name Cell level, server level, or application level Path
Default consumer binding Cell level

  1. Click Security > Web services.

  2. Under Additional properties, click Trust anchors.

Default consumer binding Server level

Click Servers > Application servers > servername.

Under Security, click Web services: Default bindings for Web services security.

Under Additional properties, click Trust anchors.

 

Certificate store

We can specify a certificate

path configuration for the following bindings on the following levels:

Binding name Cell level, server level, or application level Path
Default consumer binding Cell level

  1. Click Security > Web services.

  2. Under Additional properties, click Collection certificate store.

Default consumer binding Server level

  1. Click Servers > Application servers > servername.

  2. Under security, click Web services: Default bindings for Web services security.

  3. Under Additional properties, click Collection certificate store.

Trusted ID evaluator reference

Specifies the reference to the Trusted ID evaluator class name that is defined in the Trusted ID evaluators panel. The trusted ID evaluator is used for determining whether the received ID is trusted.

We can select the following options:

None

If you select this option, the trusted ID evaluator is not specified.

Existing evaluator definition

If you select this option, one can select one of the configured trusted ID evaluators.

We can specify a certificate path configuration for the following bindings on the following levels:

Binding name Cell level, server level, or application level Path
Default consumer binding Cell level

  1. Click Security > Web services.

  2. Under Additional properties, click Trusted ID evaluators.

Default consumer binding Server level

  1. Click Servers > Application servers > servername.

  2. Under security, click Web services: Default bindings for Web services security.

  3. Under Additional properties, click Trusted ID evaluators.

Binding evaluator definition

If you select this option, one can specify a new trusted ID evaluator and its class name.

When you select a trusted ID evaluator reference, configure the trusted ID evaluators before setting the token consumer.

The Trusted ID evaluator field is displayed in the default binding configuration and the application server binding configuration.

Verify nonce

Specifies whether the nonce of the user name token is verified.

This option is displayed on the cell, server, and application levels. This option is valid only when the type of incorporated token is the user name token.

Verify timestamp

Specifies whether the time stamp of user name token is verified.

This option is displayed on the cell, server, and application levels. This option is valid only when the type of incorporated token is the user name token.

Value type local name

Specifies the local name of value type for the consumed token.

WebSphere Application Server has predefined value type local names for the user name token and the X.509 certificate security token. Use the following local names for the user name token and the X.509 certificate security token. When you specify the following local names, you do not need to specify the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) of the value type:

Username token

http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-username-token-profile-1.0#UsernameToken

X509 certificate token

http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-x509-token-profile-1.0#X509

# X509 certificates in a PKIPath

http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-x509-token-profile-1.0#X509PKIPathv1

A list of X509 certificates and CRLs in a PKCS#7

http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-x509-token-profile-1.0#PKCS7

LTPA

Important: For Lightweight Third Party Authentication (LTPA), the value type local name is LTPA. If you enter LTPA for the local name, specify the http://www.ibm.com/websphere/appserver/tokentype/5.0.2 URI value in the Value type URI field as well. For the other predefined value types (Username token, X509 certificate token, X509 certificates in a PKIPath, and a list of X509 certificates and CRLs in a PKCS#7), the value for the local name field begins with http://. For example, if you are specifying the username token for the value type, enter http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-username-token-profile-1.0#UsernameToken in the value type local name field and then you do not need to enter a value in the value type URI field.

When you specify a custom value type for custom tokens, one can specify the local name and the URI of the Quality name (QName) of the value type. For example, you might specify Custom for the local name and http://www.ibm.com/custom for the URI.

Value type URI

Namespace URI of the value type for the integrated token.

When you specify the token consumer for the user name token or the X.509 certificate security token, you do not need to specify this option. If you want to specify another token, specify the URI of the QName for the value type.

WebSphere Application Server provides the following predefined value type URI for the LTPA token: http://www.ibm.com/websphere/appserver/tokentype/5.0.2
