Displayed options and the panel title depend on the server configuration and version.
In a mixed node cell with a server using Websphere Application Server version 6.1 or earlier, click Web services: Default bindings for WS-Security
Read the Web services documentation before you begin defining the default bindings for WS-Security.
Nonce is a unique cryptographic number that is embedded in a message to help stop repeat, unauthorized attacks of user name tokens.
In WAS and WAS Express, specify values for the Nonce cache timeout, Nonce maximum age, and Nonce clock skew fields for the server level.
- Nonce cache timeout
-
Timeout value, in seconds, for the nonce cached on the server. Nonce is a randomly generated value.
The Nonce cache timeout field is not required on the server level, but it is required on the cell level. To specify a value for the field on the cell level, click Security > JAX-WS and JAX-RPC security runtime.
If we make changes to the value for the Nonce cache timeout field, restart the appserver for the changes to take effect.
Default 600 seconds Minimum 300 seconds - Nonce maximum age
-
Default time, in seconds, before the nonce timestamp expires. Nonce is a randomly generated value.
The maximum value cannot exceed the number of seconds specified in the Nonce cache timeout field for the server level.
The Nonce maximum age field is not required on the server level, but it is required on the cell level. The value set for this Nonce maximum age field on the server level must not exceed the value for the Nonce maximum age field on the cell level. To specify a value for the Nonce maximum age field on the cell level, click Security > JAX-WS and JAX-RPC security runtime.
Default 300 seconds Range 300 to the value specified, in seconds, in the Nonce cache timeout field. - Nonce clock skew
-
Default clock skew value, in seconds, to consider when the appserver checks the timeliness of the message. Nonce is a randomly generated value.
The maximum value cannot exceed the number of seconds specified in the Nonce maximum age field.
The Nonce clock skew field is not required on the server level, but it is required on the cell level. To specify a value for the Nonce clock skew field on the cell level, click Security > JAX-WS and JAX-RPC security runtime.
Default 0 seconds Range 0 to the value specified, in seconds, in the Nonce maximum age field. - Enable cryptographic operations on hardware device
-
Enables cryptographic operations on hardware devices. Enabling this feature might improve the performance, depending on the hardware device.
- Cryptographic hardware configuration name
-
Name of the hardware device configuration name that is defined in the keystore settings in the secure communications.
This value is necessary only if Hardware acceleration has been selected.
- Custom properties
-
The linked Properties panel specifies additional properties for the security runtime configuration.
