Service client or provider policy set bindings collection
To create, copy, and manage general policy set bindings, such as the service client or provider bindings. These bindings provide system-specific configuration, and can be reused across policy set attachments. We can select the general default bindings, create new general bindings, or use existing bindings for an attached policy set.

General provider policy set bindings might also be used for trust service attachments.
The sample general bindings that are shipped with WAS are provider and client sample. Do not use these sample bindings in their current state in a production environment. However, if they were modified to contain non-sample data, we can use these sample bindings in a production environment.
You cannot assign a binding to a service provider resource that does not have a policy set or has an inherited attachment. To assign a binding to such a service provider resource, first attach a policy set to the resource. Also, we cannot assign a binding to a service client resource that does not have an effective policy configuration or has an inherited policy attachment. To assign a binding to such a service client resource, first attach a policy set or specify the use of the provider policy.
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.

The following list of buttons are available to create and manage service client or provider policy set bindings:
Button Resulting Action New Creates a new client or provider policy set binding. This option accesses the New binding panel. The binding is empty initially; enter a name and an optional description for a new client or provider policy set binding. Delete Removes the selected client or provider general policy set binding. The default general bindings are being used as the default for a server or a security domain, including the global security domain. We cannot delete global security default bindings. An attempt to delete such default general binding generates an error message that the selected binding cannot be deleted because it is currently the default binding for the global security domain. Copy Creates a modifiable copy of the selected client or provider policy set binding using a new name that you provide. Import Imports a client or provider policy set binding. This is a menu item with the option of importing a binding with the same name or providing a different name for the import. Export Exports the selected client or provider policy set binding to an archive file.
