Configuring Web Services Atomic Transaction support in a secure environment

If you are using the Web Services Atomic Transaction (WS-AT) support in a secure environment, you might need to change the default transaction service configuration. For example, you might want to use an alternative port number for WS-AT protocol messages, you might be interoperating with a non-WebSphere Application Server product that requires client certificate authentication on the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection that is used for protocol messages, or you might not need to use WebSphere Application Server in a Common Criteria EAL4 evaluated configuration.

About this task

This task consists of the following subtasks. Perform one or more of the subtasks depending upon your requirements:
  • Disable WebSphere Application Server protocol security, which is enabled by default. Perform this subtask if you want to interoperate transactionally with other servers when the server is not in a Common Criteria EAL4 evaluated configuration.
  • [Version 6.0.2] Configure a new Web container transport chain for use by WS-AT. When global security is enabled, the transaction service, by default, uses the default secure Web container transport chain: WCInboundDefaultSecure. By configuring a new transport chain you can specify settings that are different from those in the default transport chain, for example you can specify an alternative SSL repertoire requiring client certificate authentication.
  • [Version 6.0.2] Configure the outbound SSL repertoire that is used by the transport chain. Perform this subtask when the WS-AT or partner system has SSL endpoints.

Procedure

Results

[Version 6.0.2] You configured your system to use WS-AT in a secure environment.
