Configuring Web Services Security during application assembly

If you configure Web Services Security with an assembly tool, the Web Services Security binding information is modified

Configuring HTTP outbound transport level security with an assembly tool
You can configure the HTTP outbound transport level security with an assembly tool.
Configuring HTTP basic authentication for JAX-RPC web services with an assembly tool
You can configure HTTP basic authentication for Java™ API for XML-based RPC (JAX-RPC) web services with an assembly tool.
Configuring XML digital signature for Version 5.x web services with an assembly tool
XML digital signature is one of the methods WebSphere® Application Server provides to secure your web services. It provides message integrity and authentication capabilities when used with SOAP messages.
Configuring XML encryption for Version 5.x web services with an assembly tool
XML encryption is one method that WebSphere® Application Server provides to secure your web services. It enables you to encrypt an XML element, the content of an XML element, or arbitrary data such as an XML document.
Configuring XML basic authentication for Version 5.x web services with an assembly tool
With the basic authentication (BasicAuth) authentication method, the request sender generates a BasicAuth security token using a callback handler. The request receiver retrieves the BasicAuth security token from the SOAP message and validates it using a Java™ Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS) login module. Trust is established by using user name and password validation.
Configuring identity assertion for Version 5.x web services with an assembly tool
With the identity assertion authentication method, the security token generates a <wsse:UsernameToken> element that contains a <wsse:Username> element. On the request sender side, a callback handler is invoked to generate the security token. On the request receiver side, the security token is validated. Trust is established through the use of a security token rather than through user name and password validation.
Configuring signature authentication for Version 5.x web services with an assembly tool
With the signature authentication method, the request sender generates a signature security token using a callback handler. The security token returned by the callback handler is inserted in the SOAP message. The request receiver retrieves the Signature security token from the SOAP message and validates it using a Java™ Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS) login module.
Configuring pluggable tokens for Version 5.x web services with an assembly tool
WebSphere® Application Server provides several different methods to secure your web services, including the pluggable token method. To use pluggable tokens to secure your web services, you must configure both the client request sender and the server request receiver.
