You can use policy sets, or assertions that define services,
to simplify your Web services configuration because policy sets group
security and other Web services settings into reusable units. You
can use the administrative console to create, modify, and delete custom
policy sets.
Before you begin
Before creating policy sets, first identify the security requirements
of the Web service.
Note: You can only use policy
sets with JAX-WS applications that run on the IBM implementation of
the Axis2 Web services engine. You cannot use policy
sets for JAX-RPC applications.
About this task
You can use the administrative console to view and manage
policy sets. From the administrative console, click Services >
Policy sets > Application policy sets. The Application policy
sets collection displays a listing of the custom (if you have created
custom policy sets) and default policy sets.
Procedure
Results
Using these tasks, you can determine how to configure your
policy set and verify whether you can reuse an existing policy set.
You can configure a policy set, and define policies for that policy
set.
What to do next
Depending on how you are using policy sets, you might want
to revisit some of the tasks listed in this topic to tweak the configuration
for your policy set.
