Custom keystore settings
Use this page to configure custom keystore files. Custom keystore files are alternatives to the key management support built into the WAS. The callback handler uses the custom version of the keystore configuration that includes keys.
We can configure custom keystore files for message parts when you are editing a default cell or server binding. We can also configure application specific bindings for tokens and message parts that are required by the policy set.
To view this administrative console page when you are editing a default cell binding, complete the following actions:
- Click Services > Policy sets > Default policy set bindings.
- Click the WS-Security policy in the Policies table.
- Click the Authentication and protection link in the Main message security policy bindings section.
- Click a protection_token link in the Protection tokens table.
- Click the Callback handler link in the Additional bindings section.
- Select Custom from the list in the Keystore section.
- Click the Custom keystore configuration link.
To view this administrative console page when you are configuring application specific bindings for tokens and message parts that are required by the policy set, complete the following actions:
- Click Applications > Application Types > WebSphere enterprise applications .
- Select an application that contains web services. The application must contain a service provider or a service client.
- Click the Service provider policy sets and bindings link or the Service client.policy sets and bindings in the Web Services Properties section.
- Select a binding. We must have previously attached a policy set and assigned a application specific binding.
- Click the WS-Security policy in the Policies table.
- Click the Authentication and protection link in the Main message security policy bindings section.
- Click a protection_token link in the Protection tokens table.
- Click the Callback handler link in the Additional bindings section.
- Select Custom from the list in the Keystore section.
- Click the Custom keystore configuration link.
This administrative console page applies only to Java API for XML Web Services (JAX-WS) applications.
