You can secure SOAP messages with signature verification, decryption, and consumer tokens to protect message integrity, confidentiality, and authenticity, respectively. The response consumer (client-side) configuration defines the Web services security requirements for the incoming SOAP response.
To secure Web services with WebSphere Application Server, you must configure the generator and the consumer security constraints. You must specify several different configurations. Although there is no specific sequence to specify these different configurations, some configurations reference other configurations. For example, decryption configurations reference encryption configurations.
The response consumer (client-side) configuration requirements involve verifying that the integrity parts are signed and that the signature is verified, verifying that the required confidential parts are encrypted and that the parts are decrypted; and validating the security tokens.
The following high-level steps use the WSS APIs:
