Configure secure sessions between clients and services using wsadmin.sh
Use the wsadmin tool, which supports the Jython and Jacl scripting language, to edit trust service configurations. Use the STSManagement .to specify details related to secure sessions between clients and target services.
The trust service uses the secure messaging mechanisms of the Web Services Trust (WS-Trust) specification to define additional extensions for issuing, exchanging, and validating security tokens. Use the STSManagement .to configure the trust service using the wsadmin tool. Complete any of the following tasks using the STSManagement commands:
Tasks
- Manage token provider configurations.
Manage token providers. Customize token providers by defining properties such as token type schema URI, handler factory, cache cushion time, class name, and token timeout. We can also allow or restrict the use of post-dated tokens, distributed cache, and renewable tokens after timeout.
- Query existing token provider configurations.
Query the existing trust service token provider configuration.
- Manage endpoint token assignments.
Assign, unassign, and modify endpoint token assignments.
- Refresh the configuration changes.
Force the trust service to reload the token provider configuration during run time. Complete this action to use new configuration changes before you restart the application server.
