Configuring a generic security token login module for an authentication token: Token generator
You can configure a generic security token login module used for an authentication token on the token generator side of the Web Services Security process.
About this task
When you invoke the generic security token login modules on the generator side, the login module delegates the token generation process to a Security Token Service (STS) using a WS-Trust Issue or WS-Trust Validate request. The STS processes the request and returns a RequestSecurityTokenResponse message to the login module. The login module inserts the token from the STS response message in the security header of the web service request message.
For illustration purposes, it is assumed that policy sets and bindings are configured and attached to an application. For example, you can use the SAML11 Bearer WSSecurity default policy set and SAML Bearer Client sample binding. For more information, see the topic about configuring client and provider bindings for the SAML bearer token.
Complete the following steps to configure the generic security token login module on the token generator side using the administrative console:
