Policy sets group security and other Web services settings into reusable units. Policy sets are assertions about how quality of services is defined. A policy set incorporates policy types, and their settings.

Policy sets can be used with JAX-WS applications that run on the Axis2 Web service engine. Policy sets cannot be used for JAX-RPC applications.

To manage policy sets, from the admin console...

Services | Policy sets | Application policy sets

...or...

Services | Policy sets | System policy sets

Use the Application or System policy sets collection page to create, copy, delete, export, and import policy sets.

The following policy sets are ready for you to use as is....

• LTPA WSSecurity Default
• Kerberos V5 HTTPS default
• SSL WSTransaction
• Username SecureConversation
• Username WSSecurity default
• WS-Addressing default
• WSHTTPS default
• WS-I RSP ND
• WS-ReliableMessaging persistent

Depending on the assigned security role when security is enabled, we might not have access to text entry fields or buttons to create or edit configuration data. Review the administrative roles documentation to learn more about the valid roles for the appserver.

Use these tasks, we can determine how to create a new policy set and verify whether we can reuse an existing policy set. We can configure a policy set, and define policies for that policy set.

 

Next steps

Depending on how we are using policy sets, we might want to revisit some of the tasks listed in this topic to set the configuration for the policy set. We can also proceed to configure bindings for the policy set. See Defining binding information for policy sets.
