Administer message-level security for JAX-RPC web services
The Java™ API for XML-based RPC (JAX-RPC) specification enables you to develop SOAP-based interoperable and portable web services and web service clients. JAX-RPC simplifies development of web services by shielding you from the underlying complexity of SOAP communication, and enables clients to access a web service as if the web service was a local object mapped into the client's address space.
- Secure messages using JAX-RPC at the request and response generators
We can secure messages with tokens and encryption to protect message integrity, authenticity, and confidentiality.
- Secure messages using JAX-RPC at the request and response consumers
We can secure messages at the request and response consumer level to protect message confidentiality and security.
- Configure message-level security for JAX-RPC at the application level
Modify the application-level configurations in the admin console.
- Configure message-level security for JAX-RPC at the server or cell level
Specify the server-level or cell-level configuration.
- Configure Web Services Security using JAX-RPC at the platform level
In the platform configuration, general properties and additional properties can be specified, and the default binding is included. We can configure security for web services at a platform level with a variety of tasks including configuring key locators, trust anchors, and the collection certificate at the generator, consumer binding, and sever levels.
- Enable or disabling single sign-on interoperability mode for the LTPA token
We can set an interoperability flag on the token generator to determine whether an LTPA v1 token or an LTPA v2 token is retrieved when a request message is received.
