Configuring the server for request decryption: decrypting the message parts

Before you begin

Important distinction between Version 5.x and Version 6.0.x applications
Note: The information in this article supports version 5.x applications only that are used with WebSphere Application Server Version 6.0.x. The information does not apply to version 6.0.x applications.

Complete this task to specify which parts of the request message must be decrypted by the server. You must know which parts of the request message the client encrypts because the server must decrypt the same message parts.

Prior to completing these steps, read either of the following topics to become familiar with the WS Extensions tab and the WS Binding configurations tab:

These two tabs are used to configure the Web services security extensions and Web services security bindings, respectively.

Why and when to perform this task

Complete the following steps to configure the request receiver extensions:

Steps for this task

  1. Launch an assembly tool. For more information on the assembly tools, see Assembly tools.
  2. Open the J2EE perspective by clicking Window > Open perspective > Other > J2EE.
  3. Click EJB Projects > application_name > ejbModule > META_INF.
  4. Right-click the webservices.xml file, and click Open with > Web services editor.
  5. Click the Extensions tab, which is located at the bottom of the Web services editor within the assembly tool.
  6. Expand the Request receiver service configuration details > Required confidentiality section.
  7. Select the parts of the message to decrypt. The message parts selected for the request decryption on the server must match the message parts selected for the message encryption on the client. Click Add and select either of the following message parts:
    bodycontent
    The user data section of the message.
    usernametoken
    This token is the basic authentication information.

What to do next

After you specify which parts of the request message to decrypt, you must specify the method to use decrypt the message. See Configuring the server for request decryption: choosing the decryption method for more information.
