Create application specific bindings for policy set attachment
After you attach a policy set to a service artifact such as an application, service, or endpoint, you can define application specific bindings for the attached policy set. Before you can start this task, deploy an application containing web services, and attach a policy set. See attaching a policy set to a service artifact. The application specific binding panels display options based on the definitions in the attached policy set. For example, if the policy set does not have WS-ReliableMessaging configured, then the application specific binding panels do not display an option to configure WS-ReliableMessaging bindings.
To create application specific bindings for an attached policy set, perform the following steps:
Procedure
- Open the admin console.
- To create application specific bindings for a service provider policy attachment, click Applications > Application Types > WebSphere enterprise applications >Service_provider_application_instance > Service provider policy sets and bindings.
To create application specific bindings for a service client.policy attachment, click Applications > Enterprise applications > application_name > Service client policy sets and bindings.
- Select the check box for the service artifact with an attached policy set.
- Click Assign Binding to see a list of available bindings to assign.
- [Optional] Select a previously defined application specific attachment binding from the list.
If you decide to create a new application specific binding, complete steps 6 through 9.
- Click New.
- Specify a name for the binding and select which policies to include in this application specific binding. Click Add, and select the policies to add.
- Complete the information for the specified policies to define associated configuration data.
- Click Save, to save changes to the master configuration.
Results
When you finish this task, a application specific binding is created for the service artifact with the attached policy set.
Example
You have the application, app1 with the attached policy set Username WSSecurity default, and to define application specific bindings. First locate the application in the Applications > Application Types > WebSphere enterprise applications collection. Click the app1 application. We can then click the Service provider policy sets and bindings link or the Service client.policy sets and bindings link. Select the check box for the app1 application where the policy set is attached. Click Assign Binding and click New. Specify a name for the binding, such as myBinding. Click Add and select WS-Security from the list. Next, click the link for WS-Security policy and complete the panels with the appropriate information. Click Save, to save changes to the master configuration.
