Before you begin
This document describes how to configure a pluggable token in the request sender (ibm-webservicesclient-ext.xmi and ibm-webservicesclient-bnd.xmi file) and request receiver (ibm-webservices-ext.xmi and ibm-webservices-bnd.xmi file).
The pluggable token is required for the request sender and request receiver because they are a pair. The request sender and the request receiver must match for the receiver to accept a request.
Prior to completing these steps, it is assumed that you have already created a Web services-enabled Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) with a Web Services for J2EE (JSR 109) enterprise application. If not, see Developing Web services to create Web services-enabled J2EE with a JSR 109 enterprise application. See either of the following topics for an introduction of how to manage Web services security binding information for the server:
Why and when to perform this task
You must specify the security constraints in the ibm-webservicesclient-ext.xmi and the ibm-webservices-ext.xmi files for the required tokens using the Assembly Toolkit.
Complete the following steps to configure the request sender using the ibm-webservicesclient-ext.xmi and ibm-webservicesclient-bnd.xmi files:
Steps for this task
Click Disable under Login Binding on the Web Services Client Port Binding tab to remove the authentication method login binding.
Results
The previous steps define how to configure the request sender to create security tokens in the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) message and to configure the request receiver to validate the security tokens found in the incoming SOAP message. WebSphere Application Server supports pluggable security tokens.You can use the authentication method defined in the login bindings and login mappings to generate security tokens in the request sender and validate security tokens in the request receiver.
What to do next
After you configure pluggable tokens, you must configure both the client and the server to support pluggable tokens. See the following topics to configure the client and the server:
