Administering Non-default Message Security Providers

The following topics are addressed here:

• To Create a Message Security Provider

• To List Message Security Providers

• To Update a Message Security Provider

• To Delete a Message Security Provider

To Create a Message Security Provider

Use the create–message–security–provider subcommand in remote mode to create a new message provider for the security service. If the message layer does not exist, the message layer is created, and the provider is created under it.

1. Ensure that the server is running.

   Remote subcommands require a running server.

2. Create the message security provider by using the create-message-security-provider(1) subcommand.

   Information about properties for this subcommand is included in this help page.

3. (Optional) If needed, restart the server.

   Some properties require server restart. See Configuration Changes That Require Server Restart. If your server needs to be restarted, see To Restart a Domain.

--classname com.sun.enterprise.security.jauth.ClientAuthModule
--providertype client mySecurityProvider
