Request generator (sender) binding configuration settings page

Use this page to specify the binding configuration for the request generator.

To view this dmgr console page...

1. Click Applications > Application Types > WebSphere enterprise applications > application_name .

2. Under Modules, click Manage modules.

3. Click the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI).

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

5. Under Request generator (sender) binding, click Edit custom.

Depending on your 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.

WAS v8.5 provides assembly tools to assemble the application.

If the security constraints are defined in the application, either define the corresponding binding information or select the Use defaults option on this panel and use the default binding information for the 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.

Digital signature security constraint (integrity)

The following table shows the required and optional binding information when the digital signature security constraint (integrity) is defined in the deployment descriptor.
