Response generator binding configuration settings

WS-Security binding for generation of responses to caller.

To view this administrative console page, click Service integration > Web services > WS-Security bindings > [Content Pane] response-generator-binding_name.

You can configure the service integration bus for secure transmission of SOAP messages using tokens, keys, signatures and encryption in accordance with the Web Services Security (WS-Security) 1.0 specification.

You use WS-Security bindings to secure the SOAP messages that pass between service requesters (clients) and inbound services, and between outbound services and target Web services. Bindings provide the information that the run-time environment needs to implement the WS-Security configuration (for example "To sign the body, use this key"),

Bindings are administered independently from any Web service that uses them, so you can create a binding then apply it to many Web services.

You use a response generator with an inbound configuration. A response generator binding generates the responses from an inbound service to a client.

Configuration tab

Configuration properties for this object. These property values are preserved even if the run-time environment is stopped then restarted. Changing these property values typically has no effect until the run-time environment is restarted; for example, by stopping then restarting an application server. See the information center task descriptions for information about how to apply configuration changes to the run-time environment.

General properties

Name

The name of the binding.

This name must be unique, and it must obey the following syntax rules:
  • It must not start with "." (a period).
  • It must not start or end with a space.
  • It must not contain any of the following characters: \ / , # $ @ : ; " * ? < > | = + & % '
Required Yes
Data type Text

Use defaults

Specifies whether to use the default binding information. When this option is enabled, Web services security uses the default binding information instead of the custom binding information defined here.

Required No
Data type Check box

Additional properties

Signing information
Specifies the configuration for the signing parameters.
Encryption information
Specifies the configuration for the XML encryption and decryption parameters. If the data and key encryption algorithms are specified, the application server only accepts elements encrypted with those algorithms.
Token generators
Specifies the parameters for the token generator. The information is used on the generator side only to generate the security token. Because you can plug-in a custom token generator, you must specify a Java class name.
Key information
Specifies the parameters for the token consumer. The information is used on the consumer side only to process the security token. Because you can plug-in a custom token consumer, you must specify a Java class name.
Key locators
Specifies a list of key locator configurations that retrieve the key for signature and encryption. You can customize a key locator class to retrieve keys from other types of repositories. The default implementation retrieves keys from a key store.
Collection certificate store
Specifies a list of untrusted, intermediate certificate files. This collection certificate store is used for certificate path validation of incoming X.509-formatted security tokens. The root trusted certificates are specified in the Trust anchors panel.
Properties
Specifies additional properties for the configuration.
