Default bindings and runtime properties for Web services security

Use this page to configure the settings for nonce on the server level and to manage the default bindings for the signing information, encryption information, key information, token generators, token consumers, key locators, collection certificate store, trust anchors, trusted ID evaluators, algorithm mappings, and login mappings.

Displayed options and the panel title depend on your server configuration and version.

To view this administrative console page for the server level, complete the following steps:
  1. Click Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application servers > server_name.
  2. Under Security, click JAX-WS and JAX-RPC security runtime.
    Mixed-version environment Mixed-version environment: In a mixed node cell with a server using Websphere Application Server version 6.1 or earlier, click Web services: Default bindings for Web services security.mixv

Read the Web services documentation before you begin defining the default bindings for Web services security.

Nonce is a unique cryptographic number that is embedded in a message to help stop repeat, unauthorized attacks of user name tokens.

Nonce cache timeout

[Version 5 and 6 only]

Specifies the timeout value, in seconds, for the nonce cached on the server. Nonce is a randomly generated value.

If you make changes to the value for the Nonce cache timeout field, you must restart the application server for the changes to take effect.

Default 600 seconds
Minimum 300 seconds

Nonce maximum age

[Version 5 and 6 only]

Specifies the default time, in seconds, before the nonce timestamp expires. Nonce is a randomly generated value.

The maximum value cannot exceed the number of seconds that is specified in the Nonce cache timeout field for the server level.

Default 300 seconds
Range 300 to the value that is specified, in seconds, in the Nonce cache timeout field.

Nonce clock skew

[Version 5 and 6 only]

Specifies the default clock skew value, in seconds, to consider when the application server checks the timeliness of the message. Nonce is a randomly generated value.

The maximum value cannot exceed the number of seconds that is specified in the Nonce maximum age field.

Default 0 seconds
Range 0 to the value that is specified, in seconds, in the Nonce maximum age field.

Enable cryptographic operations on hardware device

Enables cryptographic operations on hardware devices. Enabling this feature might improve the performance, depending on the hardware device.

Cryptographic hardware configuration name

Specifies the name of the hardware device configuration name that is defined in the keystore settings in the secure communications.

This value is necessary only if Hardware acceleration has been selected.

Custom properties

The linked Properties panel specifies additional properties for the security runtime configuration.
