Securing messages using SAML

Configure policy sets, bindings, and SAML-specific tokens to secure Web services and messages.

About this task

To secure messages using SAML, you can import the SAML default policy sets and modify them to enable SAML function. Because WebSphere® Application Server Version 7.0.0.7 with SAML does not support attaching a policy set directly to a Web services client, you must specify the policy sets and bindings used to enable SAML as custom properties in the Web services client binding document.

You can also create a SAML bearer token using the SAML library API. A bearer token contains a bearer assertion, which is used to facilitate Web browser single sign-on (SSO). Other SAML set up tasks described in this section include configuring policy sets and bindings for a bearer token, or a holder-of-key token, or to communicate with a Security Token Service (STS).

See the following topics for more information about securing messages using SAML.
