To configure the client for response decryption, specify
which response message parts to decrypt when configuring the client.
The server response encryption and client response decryption configurations
must match.
Before you begin
Important: There is an important
distinction between Version 5.x and Version 6 and later applications.
The information supports Version 5.x applications only that
are used with WebSphere® Application Server Version 6.0.x and
later. The information does not apply to Version 6.0.x and
later applications.
Prior to completing these steps, read
either of the following topics to become familiar with the
WS
Extensions tab and the
WS Binding tab
in the Client Deployment Descriptor Editor within an assembly tool:
These two tabs are used to configure the Web Services
Security extensions and the Web Services Security bindings, respectively.
About this task
Complete the following steps to specify which response
message parts to decrypt when configuring the client for response
decryption. The server response encryption and client response decryption
configurations must match.
Procedure
- Launch an assembly tool. For more information,
see the related information on Assembly Tools.
- Switch to the Java Platform,
Enterprise Edition (Java EE)
perspective. Click .
- Click .
- Right-click the application-client.xml file,
select .
- Click the WS Extensions tab, which
is located at the bottom of the deployment descriptor editor within
the assembly tool.
- Expand the section.
- Select the parts of the message that you must decrypt by
clicking Add and selecting either Bodycontent or Usernametoken. The following information describes these message parts:
- Bodycontent
- The user data portion of the message.
- Usernametoken
- The basic authentication information, if selected.
The information selected in this step is encrypted
by the server in the response sender.
Important: A
Username Token is typically not sent in the response. Thus, you usually
do not need to select username token.
What to do next
After you specify which message parts to decrypt, you must
specify which method to use when decrypting the response message.
