Request consumer (receiver) binding configuration settings

 

Use this page to specify the binding configuration for the request consumer. To view this administrative console page, complete the following steps:

  1. Click Applications > Enterprise applications > application_name.

  2. Click Manage modules.

  3. Click the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI).

  4. Under Web Services Security Properties, click Web services: Server security bindings.

  5. Under Request consumer (receiver) binding, click Edit custom.

The security constraints or bindings are defined using the application assembly process before the application is installed.

If the security constraints are defined in the application, either define the corresponding binding information or select the Use defaults option on this panel and use the default binding information for the cell or server level. The default binding that is provided by this product is a sample. Do not use this sample in a production environment without modifying the configuration. The security constraints define what is signed or encrypted in the Web services security message. The bindings define how to enforce the requirements.
