Create new or configuring existing general binding settings
Create a new client or provider policy set binding. We can also use this page to configure an existing general binding. Empty bindings will be deleted. Scoping a binding to a security domain constrains the configuration options to those applicable to that domain and limits use of the binding to the specified domain.
From the admin console, click...
-
Services > Policy sets > General client policy set bindings > New
We can also view this page by clicking...
- Services > Policy sets > General provider policy set bindings > New
Depending on the assigned security role when security is enabled, we 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.
Bindings configuration name
Name of the new binding configuration.
We must enter a binding configuration name to proceed. The name of the binding is automatically applied when we add a policy type and provide additional configuration information. At that time, the initial Cancel button is replaced with an OK button. Each binding that we add is initially empty, and we are directed to the binding configuration panel to provide additional information for the binding.
| Button | Resulting action |
|---|---|
| Add | Adds a policy type, such as WS-Security, to a new binding that we create or to an existing binding. We can access the configuration of each policy type binding through the policy type name link. If we click Cancel without providing any configuration information for the policy type, that policy type is not saved or included in the list of policy types. We might receive an attention message that the policy type was not saved as part of the binding configuration. |
| Delete | Deletes a policy type from the list. |
| OK | Associates the name of the binding to the policy type information after we add a policy type and provide additional configuration information. |
| Cancel | Returns you to the General client or provider policy set bindings panel without creating a new binding configuration. |
Security domain
This field is only available in a multiple security domain environment and specifies a valid security domain. We can scope the binding to that particular security domain, which is scoped to the global security domain by default.
