Configure the environment for SOAP security


Overview

SOAP security profiles require access to the libraries that implement encryption, signature, and other security algorithms that transform the XML messages before sending and after receiving them.

Before you can test services that use SOAP security profiles...

  1. Obtain set of security libraries and configuration files for SOAP.
  2. Prepare an environment with these libraries to use SOAP security
  3. Set the class path of the JRE that Eclipse uses
  4. Set the class path of the virtual machine that the Agent Controller uses

BouncyCastle (http://www.bouncycastle.org) is a provider of security libraries.

Use of these security libraries is optional for the Rational test product.


Configure the environment for SOAP security

  1. Copy the library files into...

      the jre/lib/ext

    By default, this is...

      \IBM\SDP\jdk\jre\lib\ext

  2. Add the following VM argument either to the Eclipse launch command line or to the eclipse.ini file:

      -vmargs -Dosgi.parentClassloader=ext

    eclipse.ini is located in the same directory as eclipse.exe launcher binary used to run the product.


What to do next

To configure a remote computer that uses only the Agent Controller and does not require access to the workbench, perform only step 1 and restart the Agent Controller service.

After configuring the environment, import a WSDL file and use the WSDL security editor to set up a security profile for the WSDL file.
