Configure hardware cryptographic devices for Web Services Security

 

Before you can use a hardware cryptographic device, configure and enable it. You must first configure a hardware cryptographic device using the SSL certificate and key management panels in the console. The key for the cryptographic operation can be stored in an ordinary Java keystore file and need not be stored on the hardware devices. You must first configure a hardware cryptographic device using the SSL certificate and key management panels in the console.

 

Procedure

1. In the console, click Servers > Application servers and then select the server name.

2. Under Security, select Web services: default bindings for Web services security.

3. Under Cryptographic Hardware, select Enable cryptographic operations on hardware device and then specify the name of the hardware cryptographic device configuration name. For more information, see Configure a hardware cryptographic keystore.

4. Click OK.

 

Results

This procedure configures a hardware cryptographic device for all Web services security applications running on the WAS.
