Request consumer (receiver) binding configuration settings

Use this page to specify the binding configuration for the request consumer. To view this console page:

1. Click Applications > Application Types > WebSphere enterprise applicationsapplication_name.

2. Click Manage modules.

3. Click the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI).

4. Under Web Services Security Properties, click Web services: Server security bindings.

5. Under Request consumer (receiver) binding, click Edit custom.

Depending on the assigned security role when security is enabled, you might not have access to text entry fields or buttons to create or edit configuration data. Review the administrative roles documentation to learn more about the valid roles for the application server.

The security constraints or bindings are defined using the application assembly process before the application is installed.

(zos) An assembly tool is not available on the z/OS platform.

If the security constraints are defined in the application, you must either define the corresponding binding information or select the Use defaults option on this panel and use the default binding information for the cell or server level. The default binding provided by this product is a sample. Do not use this sample in a production environment without modifying the configuration. The security constraints define what is signed or encrypted in the Web Services Security message. The bindings define how to enforce the requirements.

Information type	Required or optional
Token consumer	Required
Collection certificate store	Optional
Trust anchors	Optional
Properties	Optional

We can use the collection certificate store and trust anchors defined at the server level or the cell level.

Use defaults

Select this option to use the default binding information from the server or cell level.

If we select this option, the application server checks for binding information on the server level. If the binding information does not exist on the server level, the application server checks the cell level.

Port

Port in the web service defined during application assembly.

Web service

Name of the web service defined during application assembly.
