Securing WSRP by WS-Security for a Producer portal

As a Producer, you can ensure security for the WSRP services that you provide by configuring the Producer portal for WS-Security token authentication.

Note: With the portal you can use all security tokens that IBM® WebSphere® Application Server supports. For most tokens the Consumer and Producer portals need to share the same user registry, for example, LTPA.

For more general and detailed information about how to configure WS-Security refer to the WebSphere Application Server information center, especially under Related information below.

To configure WS-Security token authentication for your Producer portal, proceed by the tasks listed in the following. After completing all tasks, make sure that you restart the portal. In a cluster configuration, restart the portal on each node.

  • Exporting the portal EAR file
    When you configure WSRP security by WS-Security token authentication, you start by exporting the portal EAR file so that you can later make the modifications required for WS-Security token authentication.

  • Importing the portal EAR file into an assembly tool
    Import the portal EAR file into an assembly tool in which you can later modify the file and configure it for WSRP security by LTPA authentication

  • Configuring the Producer portal for WS-Security authentication
    After you have exported the portal EAR file and imported it into the assembly tool, you can now make the modifications required to configure your Producer portal for Web services security (WS-Security) authentication.

  • Exporting the modified portal EAR file from the assembly tool
    After you have made the modifications for security by WS-Security token authentication, you export the portal EAR file from the assembly tool so that you can redeploy it.

  • Redeploying the portal EAR file
    After you have modified the portal EAR file for WS-Security token authentication and exported it from the assembly tool, you can now redeploy the file.
