Request generator (sender) binding configuration settings
To specify the binding configuration for the request generator...
administrative console | Applications | Enterprise applications | appname | EJB modules or Web modules | Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) | Web services: Client security bindings | Request generator (sender) binding | Edit customThe security constraints or bindings are defined using the application assembly process before the application is installed. WAS provides assembly tools to assemble your application.
(Note that an assembly tool is not available on the z/OS platform.)
If the security constraints are defined in the application, either define the corresponding binding information or select the Use defaults option on this panel and use the default binding information for the cell or server level. The default binding provided by WAS is a sample. Do not use this sample in a production environment without modifying the configuration. The security constraints define what is signed or encrypted in the Web services security message. The bindings define how to enforce the requirements.
Digital signature security constraint (integrity)
The following table shows the required and optional binding information when the digital signature security constraint (integrity) is defined in the deployment descriptor.
Use the key locators and the collection certificate store that are defined at either the server-level or the cell-level.
Information type Required or optional Signing information Required Key information Required Key locators Optional Collection certificate store Optional Token generator Optional Properties Optional
Encryption constraint (confidentiality)
The following table shows the required and optional binding information when the encryption constraint (confidentiality) is defined in the deployment descriptor.
Use the key locators and the collection certificate store that are defined at either the server-level or the cell-level.
Information type Required or optional Encryption information Required Key information Required Key locators Optional Collection certificate store Optional Token generator Optional Properties Optional
Security token constraint
The following table shows the required and optional binding information when the security token constraint is defined in the deployment descriptor.
Use the collection certificate store that is defined at either the server-level or the cell-level.
Information type Required or optional Token generator Required Collection certificate store Optional Properties Optional
- Use defaults
Select this option if you want to use the default binding information from the server or cell level.
If you select this option, WebSphere Application Server checks for binding information on the server level. If the binding information does not exist on the server level, the application server checks the cell level.
- Component
Specifies the enterprise bean in an assembled EJB module.
- Port
Specifies the port in the Web service that is defined during application assembly.
- Web service
Name of the Web service that is defined during application assembly.
