Creating and deploying custom WS-Security profiles

Each WSRP security profile is defined as a directory in the file system that contains two descriptor files ibm-webservicesclient-bnd.xmi and ibm-webservicesclient-ext.xmi.

You can generate these files by using an assembly tool for IBM Web Service clients. To modify the set of runtime security profiles, proceed as follows:

  1. Extract all security profiles to a working directory.
  2. Apply the required changes to the files in the working directory
  3. Synchronize the working directory with the configuration repository.
To perform these tasks, use the two portal configuration tasks described in the following.

  1. Creating the client security binding and extension files using an assembly tool
    You can create the files required for a WSRP security profile in the assembly tool by configuring the security options for Web applications that define a Web service client.
  2. Using the configuration tasks to extract and synchronize the WSRP WS-Security profiles
    If you want to change the set of security profiles, for example, add new profiles, delete existing profiles, or modify the descriptor files of existing profiles, you need to first extract the current configuration to a working directory. Later you synchronize your updates with the runtime configuration.
