The following table lists the properties that we can configure using the Web Services Security property panels.

Configuration panel name Property name Property value Description
JAAS configuration com.ibm.wsspi.wssecurity. token.X509.issuerName Specify the SubjectDN or the IssuerDN of the issuer for the X.509 certificate. Issuer of the certificate in the token consumer component.
JAAS configuration com.ibm.wsspi.wssecurity. token.X509.issuerSerial Specify the serial number of the X.509 certificate. Specify the serial number of the certificate in the token consumer component.
Key information com.ibm.wsspi.wssecurity. keyinfo.EncodingNS Specify the namespace Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) for the qualified name (QName). Specify the namespace URI part of the QName that represents the encoding method.
Properties com.ibm.ws.wssecurity.handler. hardwareCacheEntryRefreshHours Specify a numeric value from 1 to 24 that represents the number of hours that a temporary key is valid. Specify the amount of time before a key is retranslated. Temporary keys outside the keystore typically expire in a short period of time, measured in days or hours. If the server is configured to use a hardware acceleration card, but not the hardware keystore, we can configure it to translate the temporary keys periodically before they expire. If not set , a key will be retranslated after 8 hours. Setting this value to 0 disables retranslation.
Request generator and Response generator com.ibm.wsspi.wssecurity. timestamp.SOAPHeaderElement Specify 1 or true. This property is used with the Add nonce option to set the mustUnderstand flag in the deployment descriptor.
Request generator and Response generator com.ibm.wsspi.wssecurity. timestamp.dialect

  • A WebSphere Application Server special keywords

  • An XPath

  • A WS-Policy function

The default value is dialect-was. See the com.ibm.wsspi.wssecurity Interface Constants for more information about the values that can be specified.

This property is used in conjunction with the 
com.ibm.wsspi.wssecurity.
timestamp.keyword
. The property is used to place the timestamp header in a specific position in a message.
Signing information com.ibm.wsspi.wssecurity. dsig.dumpPath Specify the path used to locate the output file. Specify an output file for dumping the target UTF-8 binary data before signing and verifying messages.
Token generator com.ibm.wsspi.wssecurity. token.username.timestampExpires Specify 1 or true. Specify an expiration date for the user name token.
Transform algorithms com.ibm.wsspi.wssecurity. dsig.XPathExpression 
not(ancestor-or-self::*  [namespace-uri()='http://www.
w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#'  and local-name()='Signature'])
 This property is used with this algorithm:
