Configure the client for response decryption: decrypting the message
parts
To configure the client for response decryption, specify which
response message parts to decrypt when configuring the client. The server
response encryption and client response decryption configurations must match.
There is an important distinction
between V5.x and V6 and later applications. The information
in this article supports V5.x applications only that are used
with WebSphere Application Server V6.0.x and later. The information
does not apply to V6.0.x and later applications.
Prior
to completing these steps, read either of the following topics to become familiar
with the WS Extensions tab and the WS Binding tab in the Client
Deployment Descriptor Editor within an assembly tool:
These two tabs are used to configure the Web services security
extensions and the Web services security bindings, respectively.
Overview
Complete the following steps to specify which response message
parts to decrypt when configuring the client for response decryption. The
server response encryption and client response decryption configurations must
match.
Procedure
- Launch an assembly tool. For more information on the
assembly tools, see Assembly tools.
- Switch to the J2EE perspective.
Click Window > Open Perspective > J2EE.
- Click Application Client Projects > application_name >
appClientModule > META-INF.
- Right-click the application-client.xml file, select Open
with > Deployment descriptor editor.
- Click the WS Extensions tab, which is located at the bottom
of the deployment descriptor editor within the assembly tool.
- Expand the Response receiver configuration > Required confidentiality section.
- Select the parts of the message that decrypt by clicking Add and
selecting either Bodycontent or Usernametoken. The
following information describes these message parts:
- Bodycontent
-
The user data portion of the message.
- Usernametoken
-
The basic authentication information, if selected.
The information selected in this step is encrypted by the
server in the response sender.
A username token
is typically not sent in the response. Thus, you usually do not need to select
username token.
What to do next
After you specify which message parts to decrypt, specify
which method to use when decrypting the response message. See Configuring the client for response decryption: choosing a decryption
method for more information.
