Configure the server-side collection certificate store using an assembly tool

A collection certificate store is a collection of non-root, certificate authority (CA) certificates and certificate revocation lists (CRLs). This collections of CA certificates and CRLs are used to check the signature of a digitally signed SOAP message. We can configure the server-side collection certificate store using an assembly tool.

Important: There is an important distinction between Version 5.x and Version 6 and later applications. The information supports Version 5.x applications only used with WAS v6.0.x and later. The information does not apply to Version 6.0.x and later applications.

We can configure the collection certificate either using an assembly tool or using the WAS administrative console. Complete the following steps to configure the server-side collection certificate store using an assembly tool.

  1. Start an assembly tool. For more information, see the related information on Assembly Tools.

  2. Switch to the Java EE perspective. Click Window > Open Perspective > J2EE.

  3. Click EJB projects > application_name > ejbModule > META-INF.

  4. Right-click the webservices.xml file, select Open with > Web Services Editor.

  5. Click the Binding configurations tab in the web services editor within the assembly tool. The Web Service Binding Configuration window is displayed.

  6. Select one of the web service description binding entries under the Port Component Binding section.

  7. Expand the Request receiver binding configuration details > Certificate store list > Collection certificate store section.

  8. Click Add to create a new collection certificate store, click Edit to edit an existing certificate store, or click Remove to delete an existing certification store.

  9. Enter a name in the Name field. This name is referenced in the Certificate store reference field in the Signing info dialog.

  10. Leave the Provider field as IBMCertPath.

  11. Click Add to enter the path to your certificate store. For example, the path might be: ${USER_INSTALL_ROOT]/etc/ws-security/samples/intca2.cer. If we have additional certificate store paths, click Add to add the paths.

  12. Click OK when you finish adding paths.
