When working with policy sets in the administrative console, you
can customize the included policies to ensure message security. You can enable,
disable, customize, add, or delete policies from a policy set. With your policy
sets, you can define policies for WS-Addressing, WS-Security, WS-ReliableMessaging,
HTTP transport, and SSL transport. The policies for all but WS-Security are
relatively straightforward to define. Only user-created policy sets can be
modified.
Before you begin
You can customize the policies for custom policy sets. The provided
default policy sets cannot be edited. Make sure that you have created a copy
of the default policy set or created a completely new policy set to specify
the policies for this policy set.
