Attach a policy set to a service artifact, such as an application,
service, or endpoint to define the quality of services that are supported.
Policy sets can define the policies for WS-Addressing, WS-Security, WS-ReliableMessaging,
HTTP transport, and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) transport.
Before you begin
Before you can start this task, you must deploy an application containing
Web services. Also, if none of the default policy sets contain the necessary
policy definitions, then you must create a custom policy set with the necessary
definitions.
About this task
Develop a Web service that contains each of the necessary artifacts,
and deploy your Web services application into your application server instance.
Now you can attach policy sets to your service artifacts, such as an application,
service, or endpoint. To attach a policy set to a service artifact perform
the following steps:
Procedure
- Open the administrative console.
- To attach a policy set to a service provider, click Applications
> Enterprise applications > application_name > Service
provider policy sets and bindings.
To attach a policy set
to a service client, click Applications > Enterprise applications > application_name > Service
client policy sets and bindings.
- Select the check box for the service artifact.
- Select Attach to display a list of available policy sets
to attach. Select a policy set from the list.
- Click Save, to save your changes to the master configuration.
- [Optional] To see what attachments are defined for a given policy
set, select Services > Policy sets > Application policy sets > policy_set_name > Attached
applications.
Results
When you finish these steps, a policy set is attached to the service
artifact.
Example
If you have the application,
app1 and you want to
attach the policy set,
WSSecurity default, then perform the
following steps:
- Locate the app1 application in the Applications > Enterprise
applications collection.
- Click the app1 application.
- Click the Service provider policy sets and bindings link or the Service
client policy sets and bindings link.
- Select the check box for the service artifact where the policy set is
to be attached.
- Click Attach. Select WSSecurity default policy
set.
- Click Save, to save your changes to the master configuration.
