Before you begin
In the server-side extensions file (ibm-webservices-ext.xmi) and the client-side deployment descriptor extensions file (ibm-webservicesclient-ext.xmi), you must specify which parts of the message are signed. Also, you need to configure the key information that is referenced by the key information references on the Signing information panel within the administrative console.Why and when to perform this task
This task explains the steps that are needed for you to configure the signing information for the client-side request generator and the server-side response generator bindings at the server or cell level. WebSphere Application Server uses the signing information for the default generator to sign parts of the message that include the body, time stamp, and user name token if these bindings are not defined at the application level. The Application Server provides default values for bindings. However, an administrator must modify the defaults for a production environment.
In a Network Deployment environment, you can configure the signing information for the generator binding on the server level and the cell level. In the following steps, use the first step to configure the signing information for the server level and use the second step to configure the signing information on the cell level:
Complete the following steps to configure the signing information for the generator sections of the bindings files on the server level:
Steps for this task
The transform algorithm that you select for the generator must match the transform algorithm that you select for the consumer.
Result
After completing these steps, you have configured the signing information for the generator on the server or the cell level.
What to do next
You must specify a similar signing information configuration for the consumer.Related tasks
