Caller settings

Security token, signed part or encrypted part used for authentication. If a signed or encrypted part is used, the value of the part attribute must be the name of a defined required integrity or required confidentiality constraint. If a stand-alone security token is used for authentication, then the URI and local name attributes must define the type of security token used for authentication.

URI

Namespace URI of the security token to be used for authentication.

If we specify a Username token or X.509 certificate security token, we do not have to specify a URI. If we specify a custom token, enter the URI of the QName for the value type. If we specify LTPA, enter the following WebSphere Application Server predefined value type URI: http://www.ibm.com/websphere/appserver/tokentype/5.0.2. If we specify LTPA propagation (LTPA_PROPAGATION), enter the following WAS predefined value type URI: http://www.ibm.com/websphere/appserver/tokentype.

Local name

Local name of the security token to be used for authentication.

WAS has the following predefined local name value types:

Username token

X509 certificate token

http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-x509-token-profile-1.0#PKCS7

LTPA

For LTPA, the local name value type is LTPA.

LTPA_PROPAGATION

For LTPA token propagation, the local name value type is LTPA_PROPAGATION.

• If we enter LTPA in the Local name field, we must also specify the URI value http://www.ibm.com/websphere/appserver/tokentype/5.0.2 in the URI field.

• If we enter LTPA_PROPAGATION in the Local name field, we must also specify the URI value http://www.ibm.com/websphere/appserver/tokentype in the URI field.

• If we enter any of the other predefined local name value types, we can leave the URI field blank. For example, to specify "Username token", enter http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-username-token-profile-1.0#UsernameToken in the Local name field and do not enter a value in the URI field.

• If we specify a custom value type for a custom token, specify the local name and the URI of the Quality name (QName) of the value type. For example, we might enter Custom in the Local name field, and http://www.ibm.com/custom in the URI field.
