A set of bindings is a named object that is associated with a specific
policy set and service resource attached to the policy set.
Bindings contain environment and platform specific information, like the
following types of information:
- Keys used for signature and encryption
- Keystore information
- Authentication information
- Persistent information
Typically, bindings are specific to the application or the platform,
and they are not shared. One binding is associated with one policy set reference
in a one-to-one relationship. There is one set of default binding
that can be used by all policy sets, however, custom bindings are defined
within the application.
Note: Only use the default bindings in a testing environment. Do not use default
bindings in a production environment. Default bindings contain sample key
files that must be customized before use in a production environment.
