Enabling the Liberty Security Mechanism for Web Service Clients

See Also

You use the AM Security tab of the Web Service Attributes Editor to enable and configure the Liberty security mechanism for web service clients.

To enable the Liberty security mechanism for a web service client:

  1. In the Projects window, expand the project node for the project where your web service client is defined.
  2. Expand the Web Service References node and right-click the web-service-information node and choose Edit Web Service Attributes from the pop-up menu.
    The Web Service Attributes Editor opens with the AM Security tab open.
  3. Select the Enable Message Level Security checkbox.
  4. Under Security Mechanism, from the Request drop-down list, select LibertyDiscoverySecurity.
  5. To specify that response verification is required, select the Verify Response checkbox.
  6. Under Existing Certificate Settings, to use a custom keystore, clear the Use Default Key Store checkbox and complete the four keystore-related fields.
    You can use the Browse button to navigate to and select a different location for the keystore file.
  7. From the Server drop-down list, select the Access Manager server instance that will be used by the web service client to look up the web service provider.
    This instance should match the instance that was used by the web service provider to register itself with the discovery service for the Liberty token profile. If this instance is different for the web service client and the web service provider, some additional steps are needed.
    For Liberty token profiles used in this scenario, the Discovery Service, that is, the configured Sun Java System Access Manager server should have the resource offering of the web service provider. If this is not the case, the resource offering must be added manually using Sun Java System Access Manager Admin Console. For instructions about adding the resource offering to the web service client's configured Sun Java System Access Manager, see

    in the Sun Java System Access Manager 7 Federation and SAML Administration Guide.
  8. Click OK.
