WS-Security configuration for an outbound request. This defines WS-Security requirements for the request generated and response consumed from the target. The objects created may be applied to one or more outbound ports.
You can configure the service integration bus for secure transmission of SOAP messages using tokens, keys, signatures and encryption in accordance with the Web Services Security (WS-Security) 1.0 specification.
Alternatively, you can configure
the bus in accordance with the previous WS-Security specification, WS-Security
Draft 13 (also known as the Web Services Security Core Specification). However,
use of WS-Security Draft 13 is deprecated in WebSphere Application Server
Version 6, and you should only use it to enable inter-operation between applications
running in WebSphere Application Server Version 5 and Version 6, or to allow
continued use of an existing Web services client application that has been
written to the WS-Security Draft 13 specification.
You use an outbound configuration to secure the SOAP messages that pass between an outbound service (which acts as a client) and a target Web service. The configuration specifies the level of security that you require (for example "The body must be signed"). This level of security is then implemented through the run-time information contained in the following types of WS-Security binding:
WS-Security configurations are administered independently from any Web service that uses them, so you can create an outbound configuration then apply it to many outbound services.
Configuration properties for this object. These property values are preserved even if the run-time environment is stopped then restarted. Changing these property values typically has no effect until the run-time environment is restarted; for example, by stopping then restarting an application server. See the information center task descriptions for information about how to apply configuration changes to the run-time environment.
