Enabling Providers for Message Security

To enable message security for web services endpoints deployed in the Application Server, you must specify a provider to be used by default on the server side. If you enable a default provider for message security, you also need to enable providers to be used by clients of the web services deployed in the Application Server. Information for enabling the providers used by clients is discussed in Enabling Message Security for Application Clients.

To enable message security for web service invocations originating from deployed endpoints, you must specify a default client provider. If you enabled a default client provider for the Application Server, you must ensure that any services invoked from endpoints deployed in the Application Server are compatibly configured for message layer security.

Use the command-line utility:

• To specify the default server provider:

  asadmin set --user admin-user --port admin-port server-config.security-service.message-security-config.SOAP. default_provider=ServerProvider

• To specify the default client provider:

  asadmin set --user admin-user --port admin-port server-config.security-service.message-security-config.SOAP. default_client_provider=ClientProvider
