WebSphere® Application Server provides several different methods to secure your web services, including the pluggable token method. To use pluggable tokens to secure your web services, you must configure both the client request sender and the server request receiver.
To use pluggable tokens to secure your web services, you must configure both the client request sender and the server request receiver. You can configure your pluggable tokens using the WebSphere Application Server administrative console.
The following information describes how to configure a pluggable token using an assembly tool.
To configure Lightweight Third-Party Authentication (LTPA) token authentication, specify LTPA token authentication. Only configure the client for LTPA token authentication if the authentication mechanism configured in WebSphere Application Server is LTPA.
To configure Lightweight Third-Party Authentication (LTPA) token authentication, collect the LTPA token authentication information. Do not configure the client for LTPA token authentication unless the authentication mechanism configured in WebSphere Application Server is LTPA.
Lightweight Third-Party Authentication (LTPA) is a type of authentication mechanism in WebSphere Application Server security that defines a particular token format. The purpose of the LTPA token authentication is to flow the LTPA token from the first web service, which authenticated the originating client, to the downstream web service. You can configure the server for LTPA token authentication.

The purpose of the LTPA token authentication is to flow the LTPA token from the first web service, which authenticated the originating client, to the downstream web service. You can configure the server to validate LTPA token authentication.
