[Version 5.0.2 and later]Request sender binding collection

Use this page to specify the binding configuration to send request messages for Web services security.

To view this administrative console page, complete the following steps:

  1. Click Applications > Enterprise Applications > application_name.
  2. Under Related Items, click Web Modules > URI_file_name > Web Services: Client Security Bindings.
  3. Under Request Sender Binding, click Edit.

Web services security namespace

Specifies the namespace used by Web services security to send a request. However, this field configures the namespace value only and does not enforce the semantics of the specification related to the namespace. Web services security uses the processing semantic only in draft 13 of the OASIS specification. The following schemas are available:

The namespace used by the response sender is based on the namespace of the incoming message in the request receiver.

Signing Information
Specifies the configuration for the signing parameters. Signing information is used to sign and validate parts of the message including the body and time stamp.

You can also use these parameters for X.509 validation when the Authentication Method is IDAssertion and the ID Type is X509Certificate in the server-level configuration. In such cases, you must fill in the Certificate Path fields only.

Encryption Information
Specifies the configuration for the encrypting and decrypting parameters. Encryption information is used for encrypting and decrypting various parts of a message including the body and user name token.
Key Locators
Specifies a list of key locator objects that retrieve the keys for digital signature and encryption from a key store file or a repository. The key locator maps a name or a logical name to an alias or maps an authenticated identity to a key. This logical name is used to locate a key in a key locator implementation.
Login Mappings
Specifies a list of configurations for validating tokens within incoming messages.

Login mappings map the authentication method to the Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS) configuration.

To configure JAAS, use the administrative console and click Security > JAAS Configuration.
