You can use the administrative console to either create a policy set by specifying all the necessary information or by copying an existing policy set that you rename. 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.
After you have looked at your Web services, you might decide that the WS-I RSP default policy set most closely meets your needs. You would go to the administrative console and click Copy. This opens the Policy set settings window. You might want to name your policy set by your company or division so you could provide a name like ABC WS-I RSP in the Name field. Because you know others in your organization might access and use it, you've chosen a name that is meaningful to those people too. You want to be sure everyone knows exactly what this copy of the WS-I RSP policy is used for, so you add a description in the Description field describing it. Now you want to customize the policy set so you edit the policy information by clicking the name of a policy to edit it.
to access the Application policy sets collection. Locate the WS-I RSP default in the Name column of the table and click the box beside it (in the Select column). ClickWhen you identify the requirements of your web service, you might decide that none of the default policy sets meet your needs closely enough to use them as a template so you might decide to create your own policy set. You would first create the policy set with the name you choose to give it. As if you were reusing an existing template, you would go to the administrative console and click New. The Policy set settings window opens but note that the Policy set name field is blank and there are not yet any associated policies in the table. Enter the name and add any policies necessary.
and clickWhen you add policies to a policy set, the policies are set to their default values. You can then edit the policies to modify any attribute values that need to be changed and save the settings.
