You can use the Jython or Jacl scripting language to customize WebSphere® Application Server Version 6.1 server-specific default bindings for policies to match your installation environment or requirements.
Server-specific default bindings use the WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 namespace.
Administrative role | Authorization |
---|---|
Administrator | The Administrator role must have cell-wide access to configure bindings. If you have access to a specific resource only, you can configure bindings for the resource for which you have access. Only the Administrator role can edit binding attributes. |
Configurator | The Configurator role with cell-wide or resource specific access can assign or unassign bindings, but cannot edit attributes. |
Deployer | The Deployer role with cell-wide or resource specific access can assign or unassign bindings, but cannot edit attributes. |
Operator | The Operator role can view, but cannot configure bindings. |
Monitor | The Monitor role can view, but cannot configure bindings. |
To support a mixed-cell environment, WebSphere Application Server supports Version 7.0 and Version 6.1 bindings. General cell-level bindings are specific to Version 7.0 and later Application-specific bindings remain at the version that the application requires. When the user creates an application-specific binding, the application server determines the required binding version to use for application.
The sample general bindings that are provided with the product are initially set as the global security (cell) default bindings. The default service provider binding and the default service client bindings are used when no application specific bindings or trust service bindings are assigned to a policy set attachment. For trust service attachments, the default bindings are used when no trust specific bindings are assigned. If you do not want to use the provided Provider sample as the default service provider binding, you can select an existing general provider binding or create a new general provider binding to meet your business needs. Likewise, if you do not want to use the provided Client sample as the default service client binding, you can select an existing general client binding or create a new general client binding.
