Creating a Message Security Provider

To create a new message security provider, follow these steps.

  1. In the Admin Console tree component, expand the Configurations node.
  2. Select the instance you want to configure:
    1. To configure a particular instance, select the instance’s config node. For example, the default instance, server, select the server-config node.
    2. To configure the default settings for all instances, select the default-config node.
  3. Expand the Security node.
  4. Select the Message Security node.
  5. Select the node for the Authentication Layer to which you want to add a message security provider, for example, SOAP.
  6. From the Edit Message Security Configuration page, select the Providers tab.
  7. On the Provider Configuration page, click New.
  8. In the Provider Config section of the Create a Provider Configuration page, enter the following:
  9. In the Request Policy section of the Create a Provider Configuration page, enter the following optional values if needed. These properties are optional, but if not specified, no authentication will be applied to request messages.
  10. In the Response Policy section of the Create a Provider Configuration page, enter the following optional properties if needed. These properties are optional, but if not specified, no authentication will be applied to response messages.
  11. Add additional properties by clicking the Add Property button. The provider that is shipped with the Application Server supports the property listed below. If you are using other providers, they may require that you define properties unique to that provider. In that case, you will need to review that provider’s documentation for more information on its properties and valid values.
  12. Click OK to save this configuration, or click Cancel to quit without saving.
