Before you begin
Prior to completing this task, you must import your application into an assembly tool. For information on how to import your application, see Importing enterprise applications.Why and when to perform this task
A security token represents a set of claims that are made by a client and might include a name, password, identity, key, certificate, group, privilege, and so on. It is embedded in the Simple Object Access protocol (SOAP) message within the SOAP header. WebSphere Application Server propagates the security token within the SOAP header from the message sender to the intended message receiver. On the receiving side, the security handler for WebSphere Application Server authenticates the security token and sets up the caller identity on the thread.
Complete the following steps to specify the security token when you configure the response consumer or the request consumer. The response consumer is configured for the client and the request consumer is configured for the server. In the following steps, you must configure either the client-side extensions in step 2 or the server-side extensions in step 3.
Steps for this task
For a username token or an X.509 token, you do not need to specify a value in the URI field.
What to do next
When you configure the token consumer, select the security token that you created using these steps. For more information, see Configuring token consumers with an assembly tool.Related tasks
