6.8 Manage OWSM Domain Configuration

This section provides a summary of the steps required to manage OWSM configuration at the domain level.

The steps for this process are:

  • View and Modify General Information About the Domain. How?

    The General tab enables you view the domain name, platform type, and the number of applications and services. You can modify the display name and the description for the domain. It also provides version information for the configuration.

  • Configuring Domain-Level Authentication. How?

    The Authentication tab provides the ability to configure the authentication settings required for the environment. This includes the ability to configure SAML trust, specify the lifetime of an issued token, and configure the subject created in OWSM. You can also configure the SAML and SAML2 login modules, the Kerberos login module, and the X509 login module, as well as create custom login modules.

  • Configure Domain-Level Message Security. How?

    The Message Security tab provides the ability to configure the message protection settings required for the environment. This includes configuring the OWSM keystore and tuning security policy enforcement by adjusting the default message timestamp skews between system clocks, the time-to-live for nonce messages in the cache, the message expiration time, and XPath transformations. You can also specify identity settings such as whether to enforce Web service policies by publishing the X509 certificate in the WSDL. In addition, if the X509 is published, you can also specify whether to ignore host name verification. You can also configure secure conversation settings such as when secure conversations should expire.

  • Configure Policy Access. How?

    The Policy Access tab provides the ability to configure the policy manager connection, including whether to use the auto-discovery feature. You can also configure the SSL settings for the OWSM domain, and tune the policy cache.
