Managing policy sets using the administrative console

You can use policy sets, or assertions that define services, to simplify your Web services configuration because policy sets group security and other Web services settings into reusable units. You can use the administrative console to create, modify, and delete custom policy sets.

Before you begin

Before creating policy sets, first identify the security requirements of the Web service.
Note: You can only use policy sets with JAX-WS applications that run on the IBM implementation of the Axis2 Web services engine. You cannot use policy sets for JAX-RPC applications.

About this task

You can use the administrative console to view and manage policy sets. From the administrative console, click Services > Policy sets > Application policy sets. The Application policy sets collection displays a listing of the custom (if you have created custom policy sets) and default policy sets.

Procedure

Results

Using these tasks, you can determine how to configure your policy set and verify whether you can reuse an existing policy set. You can configure a policy set, and define policies for that policy set.

What to do next

Depending on how you are using policy sets, you might want to revisit some of the tasks listed in this topic to tweak the configuration for your policy set.
