Response receiver binding collection

Use this page to specify the binding configuration for receiver response messages for Web Services Security.

Important: There is an important distinction between Version 5.x and Version 6 and later applications. The information supports Version 5.x applications only used with WAS v6.0.x and later. The information does not apply to Version 6.0.x and later applications. Version 5.x applications are based on Java 2 platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) 1.3. To view this console page:

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

  2. Under Modules, click Manage modules > URI_file_name > Web Services: Client security bindings.

  3. Under Response receiver binding, click Edit.


Signing information

Configuration for the signing parameters. Signing information is used to sign and to validate parts of the message including the body and the timestamp.

We can also use these parameters for X.509 validation when the authentication method is IDAssertion and the ID type is X509Certificate, in the server-level configuration. In such cases, you must fill in the certificate path fields only.


Encryption information

Configuration for the encryption and decryption parameters.

Encryption information is used for encrypting and decrypting various parts of a message, including the body and the user name token.


Trust anchors

List of keystore objects containing the trusted root certificates that are self-signed or issued by a certificate authority.

The certificate authority authenticates a user and issues a certificate. After the certificate is issued, the keystore objects, which contain these certificates, use the certificate for certificate path or certificate chain validation of incoming X.509-formatted security tokens.


Collection certificate store

List of the untrusted, intermediate certificate files.

The collection certificate store contains a chain of untrusted, intermediate certificates. The CertPath API attempts to validate these certificates, which are based on the trust anchor.


Key locators

List of key locator objects that retrieve the keys for a digital signature and encryption from a keystore file or a repository.

The key locator maps a name or a logical name to an alias or maps an authenticated identity to a key. This logical name is used to locate a key in a key locator implementation.
