Before you begin
These two tabs are used to configure the Web services security extensions and Web services security bindings, respectively.
Why and when to perform this task
Complete the following steps to specify which method the server uses to encrypt the response message:
Steps for this task
The key name chosen in the server response sender encryption information must be the public key of the key configured in the client response receiver encryption information. Encryption by the response sender must be done using the public key and decryption must be done by the response receiver using the associated private key (the personal certificate of the response receiver).
Result
The encryption key name chosen must refer to a public key of the response receiver. For the encryption key name, use the Subject of the public key certificate, typically a Distinguished Name (DN). The name chosen is used by the default key locator to find the key. If you write a custom key locator , the encryption key name might be anything used by the key locator to find the correct encryption key (a public key). The encryption key locator references the implementation class that finds the correct key store where the alias and certificate exist. For more information, see Configuring key locators using an assembly tool and Configuring key locators using the administrative console.
What to do next
You must specify which parts of the response message to encrypt. See Configuring the server for response encryption: encrypting the message parts if you have not previously specified this information.Related concepts
