Web Service Provider Security Agent Profile
The Web Service Provider (WSP) security agent profile stores the configuration data related to validating a request from a web service client and securing the response returned by the WSP. The data includes the WSP's supported security mechanisms, keystore locations, SAML configurations and endpoints. The WSP agent profile also has a mechanism to authenticate against OpenSSO Enterprise to generate a session for the WSP. For more information, see Part IV, The Web Services Stack, Identity Services, and Web Services Security, in Sun OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 Technical Overview.
Out of the box, wsp is the default WSP security agent profile. Additional profiles can be defined with the profile name dependant on the endpoint of the service defined in the web service provider's WSDL file. (The security agent searches based on the endpoint.) This allows multiple web service providers to use the same configuration data store. The name of the web service provider must be unique across all agents.
Caution – The Group functionality is not supported with the Web Service Provider Security Agent Profile.
