Signed or Encrypted message part settings


Overview

You configure signed or encrypted message parts when editing a cell or server binding. We can also configure application specific bindings for tokens and message parts that are required by the policy set.

Message part bindings define how the part (defined in a policy set) is handled.

To configure signed or encrypted message parts for default cell binding go to...

Services | Policy sets | Default policy set bindings | Policies | WS-Security | Authentication and protection

...and select a signature or an encrypted message part in the sections...

To configure application specific bindings for tokens and message parts that are required by the policy set...

Applications | Application Types | WebSphere enterprise applications | application | Web Services Properties | [ Service provider policy sets and bindings | Service client.policy sets and bindings ] | binding | Policies | WS-Security | Authentication and protection

...and select a signature or an encrypted message part in sections...

This administrative console page applies only to Java API for XML Web Services (JAX-WS) applications.


Settings


Name

Name of the message part reference. The name field displays the name of the part reference you are editing, or you can enter a name if you are creating a message part reference.


Include time stamp

Check box available if you are configuring encryption protection and it specifies whether to include a time stamp. Select this check box to indicate that a time stamp is included or leave it unchecked to indicate that the time stamp is not included with the part reference.

For default bindings, to specify if a time stamp is included for signature protection, click...

Additional bindings | Signed part reference default

For application specific bindings, to specify if a time stamp is included for signature protection, highlight an assigned signature message part reference and click Edit. The time stamp check box is located in the Reference section.


Include nonce

Check box available if you are configuring encryption protection and it specifies whether to include nonce. Select this check box to indicate that a nonce is to be used or leave it unchecked to indicate that nonce is not to be included with this part reference.

For default bindings, to specify if a nonce is included for signature protection, click the Signed part reference default link under the Additional bindings section.

For application specific bindings, to specify if a nonce is included for signature protection, highlight an assigned signature message part reference and click Edit. The nonce check box is located in the Reference section.


Usage of key information reference

Available on this panel if you are configuring encryption protection and it specifies that the encryption key information is either data encryption key information or key encryption key information. Select Data encryption for symmetric algorithms and Key encryption for asymmetric algorithms.

Click one of the following radio buttons:

Data encryption

Key information is used for data encryption.

Key encryption

Key information is key encryption key information.


Key information (Request)

If you are configuring a request message signature or encryption protection, this field specifies the key information for a token request message part. This section provides interactive fields to assign the key information.

The Available field contains a listing of available key information entries for the message part. The Assigned field contains a listing of one or more of the key information entries that are assigned to the message part. Use the following actions to work with multiple request message part key information entries:

Button Resulting action
Add > Add the selected key information entry in the Available list to the Assigned list.
New... Create a new key information entry.
< Remove Remove the selected key information entry from the Assigned list.


Key information (Response)

If you are configuring a response message signature or a response encryption protection, this field specifies the key information for a token response message part. This field provides a menu used to assign the key information. We can only assign one key information entry for response message parts. The New button enables you to add a new key information entry to the menu for selection.


Custom properties – Name

Name of the custom property to be used.

Custom properties are not initially displayed in this column. The following actions are available:

Button Resulting Action
New Creates a new custom property entry.

To add a custom property, enter the name and value.

Edit Specifies that you can edit the selected custom property. Select this action to provide input fields and create the listing of cell values for editing. The Edit button is not available until at least one custom property has been added.
Delete Removes the selected custom property.


Custom properties – Value

Value of the custom property to be used. With the Value entry field, you can edit, enter or delete the value for a custom property.


Additional bindings – Signed part reference default

If you are configuring signature protection, this section is displayed on this panel. It links to a panel where you can configure part reference properties such as including a time stamp or nonce and transform algorithms. Part reference properties include the transform algorithms used to protect the message part.
