You can configure trusted identity (ID) evaluators. The trusted
ID evaluator determines whether or not to trust the identity-asserting authority.
About this task
This
task provides the steps that are needed to configure trusted identity (ID)
evaluators. The trusted ID evaluator determines whether to trust the identity-asserting
authority. After the ID is trusted, the WebSphere Application Server issues
the proper credentials based on the identity, which are used in a downstream
call to another server for invoking resources. The trusted ID evaluator implements
the com.ibm.wsspi.wssecurity.id.TrustedIDEvaluator interface.
Complete the following steps to configure the trusted
ID evaluators on the server level:
Procedure
- Access the default bindings for the server level.
- Click Servers > Application servers > server_name.
- Under Security, click Web services: Default bindings for
Web services security.
- Under Additional properties, click Trusted ID evaluators.
- Click New to create a trusted ID evaluator configuration,
click Delete to delete an existing configuration, or click the name
of an existing configuration to edit the settings. If you are creating
a new configuration, enter a unique name for the trusted ID evaluator configuration
in the Trusted ID evaluator name field. This field specifies the name that
is used by the application binding to refer to a trusted identity (ID) evaluator
that is defined in the default binding.
- Specify a class name in the Trusted ID evaluator class name field.
The default class name is com.ibm.wsspi.wssecurity.id.TrustedIDEvaluatorImpl.
The specified trusted ID evaluator class name must implement the com.ibm.wsspi.wssecurity.id.TrustedIDEvaluator
class. When you use the default TrustedIDEvaluator class, you must specify
the name and value properties for the default trusted ID evaluator to create
the trusted ID list for evaluation.
- Under Additional properties, click Properties > New.
- Specify the trusted ID evaluator name as a property name.
You must specify the trusted ID evaluator name in the form, trustedId_n,
where _n is an integer from zero (0) to n.
- Specify the trusted ID as a property value.
property name="trustedId_0", value="CN=Bob,O=ACME,C=US"
property name="trustedId_1, value="user1"
If a distinguished name (DN) is used, the space is removed for
comparison.
- Click OK and then Save.
Results
You
have configured the trusted ID evaluators at the server level.
