SOAP security profiles require access to the libraries
that implement encryption, signature, and other security algorithms
that transform the XML messages before sending and after receiving
them. You must prepare an environment with these libraries to use
SOAP security, set the class path of the Java™ Runtime Environment (JRE) that Eclipse uses, and set the
class path of the virtual machine that the Agent Controller uses.
Before you begin
Before you can test SOAP-based services that use security
algorithms, you must obtain a set of security libraries and configuration
files for SOAP.
BouncyCastle (http://www.bouncycastle.org) is a provider of such security libraries. Use of these security
libraries is optional for the Rational® test product.
Procedure
- Copy the library files into the jre/lib/ext of the JRE installation.
By default, this is the following
directory: C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP\jdk\jre\lib\ext
- Add the following VM argument either to the Eclipse launch
command line or to the eclipse.ini file: -vmargs -Dosgi.parentClassloader=ext
The eclipse.ini file is located in the same
directory as the eclipse.exe launcher binary
that is used to run the product.
What to do next
To configure a remote computer that uses only the Agent
Controller and does not require access to the workbench, perform only
step 1 and restart the Agent Controller service.
After configuring
the environment, you must import a Web Services Description Language
(WSDL) file and use the WSDL security editor to
set up a security profile for the WSDL file.
