Secure web services for version 5.x applications using a pluggable token

To use pluggable tokens to secure your web services, configure both the client request sender and the server request receiver. We can configure your pluggable tokens using the WAS administrative console.

There is an important distinction between v5.x and v6.0.x and later applications. The information in this article supports v5.x applications only that are used with WAS Version 6.0.x and later. The information does not apply to Version 6.0.x and later applications.

WAS provides several different methods to secure your web services. A pluggable token is one of these methods. You might secure your Web services by using any of the following methods:

Complete the following steps to secure your web services using a pluggable token:


Procedure

  1. Generate a security token using the JAAS CallbackHandler interface. The Web Services Security runtime uses the JAAS CallbackHandler interface as a plug-in to generate security tokens on the client side or when web services are acting as a client.

  2. Configure your pluggable token. See the following tasks:
