Request generator (sender) binding configuration settings

Use this page to specify the binding configuration for the request generator. To view this console page...

1. Click Applications > Enterprise applications > application .

2. Click Manage modules.

3. Click the URI.

4. Under Web Services Security Properties, click Web services: Client security bindings.

5. Under Request generator (sender) binding, click Edit custom.

The security constraints or bindings are defined using the application assembly process before the application is installed.

If the security constraints are defined in the application, either define the corresponding binding information or select the Use defaults option on this panel and use the default binding information for the cell or server level. The default binding provided by WAS is a sample. Do not use this sample in a production environment without modifying the configuration. The security constraints define what is signed or encrypted in the Web services security message. The bindings define how to enforce the requirements.

 

Digital signature security constraint (integrity)

The following table shows the required and optional binding information when the digital signature security constraint (integrity) is defined in the deployment descriptor.

Information type	Required or optional
Signing information	Required
Key information	Required
Key locators	Optional
Collection certificate store	Optional
Token generator	Optional
Properties	Optional

You can use the key locators and the collection certificate store that are defined at either the server-level or the cell-level.

 

Encryption constraint (confidentiality)

The following table shows the required and optional binding information when the encryption constraint (confidentiality) is defined in the deployment descriptor.

Information type	Required or optional
Encryption information	Required
Key information	Required
Key locators	Optional
Collection certificate store	Optional
Token generator	Optional
Properties	Optional

You can use the key locators and the collection certificate store that are defined at either the server-level or the cell-level.

 

Security token constraint

The following table shows the required and optional binding information when the security token constraint is defined in the deployment descriptor.

Information type	Required or optional
Token generator	Required
Collection certificate store	Optional
Properties	Optional

You can use the collection certificate store that is defined at either the server-level or the cell-level.

Use defaults

Select this option if you want to use the default binding information from the server or cell level.

If you select this option, the appserver checks for binding information on the server level. If the binding information does not exist on the server level, the appserver checks the cell level.
