Update a consumer

After completing the migration of the data, perform the following tasks if we use IBM WebSphere Portal as a consumer.

• Verify the web service security configuration for the WSRP ports of the Producer definitions. For more information about configuring and securing WSRP on a Consumer portal, see Configure security on the Consumer portal.

• If we configured web services security using LTPA version 1 tokens for a WSRP port of a Producer definition, complete more steps. WebSphere Application Server v8.5.5 does not support creating LTPA version 1 tokens for immediate use. Your options depend on whether the Producer requires LTPA version 1 tokens or is able to accept LTPA version 2 tokens. For information about the options and the required configuration changes, see Configuring producer ports for Web Service Security on the Consumer portal.

  WebSphere Portal does not provide a default configuration option for web service security that uses signed user name tokens anymore. If we used this security configuration on earlier versions of WebSphere Portal, see Configuring producer ports for Web Service Security on the Consumer portal for available security options for WSRP.

  WebSphere Portal does not support to secure WSRP by with Client Certificate Authentication anymore. If we used this security configuration on earlier versions of WebSphere Portal, see Security for WSRP services.

• When we complete the migration of a Producer, verify the corresponding Producer definition on the consumer. For details about working with Producer definitions, see Work with Producer definitions.

  In particular, verify the WSDL URL of the Producer and the web service security configuration, and the endpoint URLs of the Producer ports. If the context root of the Producer was changed, adapt the endpoint URLs of the WSRP ports.

• Configure the JVM setting for retrieving multiple transport headers from a JAX-WS web service response, as described in description of APAR PM91361. See PM91361: MULTIPLE SET-COOKIE VALUES FROM AN HTTP TRANSPORT HEADER IN A JAX-WS WEB SERVICE RESPONSE ARE NOT RETRIEVED CORRECTLY.
