Set hardware cryptographic devices for WS-Security


Before we 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 admin 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 admin console.

 

  1. In the admin console ...

    Servers > Server types > WebSphere application servers and then select the server name.

  2. Under Security, select JAX-WS and JAX-RPC security runtime.

  3. Under Cryptographic Hardware, select Enable cryptographic operations on hardware device and then specify the name of the hardware cryptographic device configuration name.

    See, read about configuring a hardware cryptographic keystore.

  4. Click OK.
