We can use the generic security token login modules to issue, validate, and exchange security tokens using an external security token service (STS).
- Learn about generic security token login modules
The generic security token login modules generate and consume tokens using WS-Trust Issue and WS-Trust Validate requests. As a result of these requests, the login module issues, validates, or exchanges tokens with a WS-Trust security token service, such as the service provided with the IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager.
- Administer a generic security token login module
To use the generic security login module features, configure the login module and the callback handler for both the token generator and the token consumer.
