You can configure name-value pairs of data, where the name
is a property key and the value is a string value that you can use
to set internal system configuration properties. Defining a new property
enables you to configure a setting beyond that which is available
through options in the administrative console.
About this task
The Web services security custom properties topic provides
the following information about each custom property:
- Provides a detailed description of the property
- States the type of data that is needed to set the property
- Provides a list of possible values
- Lists the default value
Important: Custom properties that you set for the
default consumer or default generator bindings take precedence over
general custom properties that you set as additional properties. However,
custom bindings take precedence over default bindings.
The
following steps explain how to set custom properties to secure Web
services:
Procedure
Set custom properties for Java API for XML-based RPC (JAX-RPC)
applications. You can set custom properties to secure Web
services for JAX-RPC applications in multiple locations within the
administrative console. You can set these custom properties for the
default consumer, default generator, or both bindings. Also, you can
set custom properties as general additional properties. Collectively,
the default consumer bindings, the default generator bindings, and
the additional properties are referred to as the
default bindings.
- Custom bindings
- Expand Applications.
- Click Enterprise Applications > application_name.
- Under Modules, click Manage Modules > module_name.
- Under Web Services Security Properties, click Web services:
Server security bindings or Web services: Client
security bindings > Edit custom.
- Default consumer bindings
- Expand Servers.
- Click Applications servers > server_name.
- Under Security, click Web services: Default bindings
for Web services security.
- Under Default consumer bindings, click Properties.
- Default generator bindings
- Expand Servers.
- Click Applications servers > server_name.
- Under Security, click Web services: Default bindings
for Web services security.
- Under Default generator bindings, click Properties.
- Additional properties
- Expand Servers.
- Click Applications servers > server_name.
- Under Security, click Web services: Default bindings
for Web services security.
- Under Additional Properties, click Properties.
Order of precedence for custom properties with JAX-RPC applications: Custom properties that you set in the WS-Security extension
and custom bindings take precedence over custom properties that you
set in the default bindings. Custom properties that you set in the
WS-Security bindings take precedence over custom properties that you
set in the WS-Security extension. Custom properties that you set in
the generator or sender and consumer or receiver bindings take precedence
over custom properties that you set in the additional properties.
