Trusted ID evaluator


The trusted ID evaluator is an abstraction of the mechanism that evaluates whether the given ID name is to be trusted. The trusted ID evaluator is typically used by the eventual receiver in a multi-hop environment.

There is an important distinction between V5.x and Version 6.0.x applications. The information in this article supports Version 5.x applications only that are used with WAS V6.0.x and later. The information does not apply to V 6.0.x applications.

Depending upon the implementation, we can use various types of infrastructure to store a list of the trusted IDs, such as:

The WS-Security implementation (com.ibm.wsspi.wssecurity.id.TrustedIDEvaluator) invokes the trusted ID evaluator and passes the identity name of the intermediary as a parameter. If the identity is evaluated and deemed trustworthy, the procedure continues. Otherwise, an exception is created and the procedure is stopped.
