Policies applied settings

Use this pane to view and change whether the policy configuration of a WebSphere® Application Server service client is configured dynamically, based on the policies supported by its service provider, and how the client obtains the policy of the service provider. You can specify that the client obtains the policy of the service provider using a HTTP Get request, a Web Services Metadata Exchange (WS-MetadataExchange) request, or both. You can set message level security options for WS-MetadataExchange, and obtain an update of the service provider policy.
