Trust Method [Settings]
Defines a trust method used to validate the identity of a trusted intermediary asserting an ID on a downstream message. When a trust method is configured, the security token defined by the caller is expected to contain an identity to be asserted.

These property values are preserved even if the runtime environment is stopped then restarted.
General Properties
Trust any
If trust any is selected then all upstream intermediaries will be trusted by this consumer. This should only be selected if you are certain that all upstream intermediaries are trusted. Selecting trust any will automatically override all other attributes of this trust method.
If you do not select the Trust any check box, but you specify a value for any other field on this panel, then WS-Security identity assertion is enabled.
Required No Data type Boolean
Name
The name of the trust method.
There are two valid predefined names:
- BasicAuth (for basic authentication).
- Signature.
Required No Data type String
Part
Name of the required integrity or required confidentiality part within the message to be used to validate the intermediary.
Required No Data type drop-down list
URI
Specifies the URI of the security token to use to validate the intermediary.
If you specify BasicAuth or Signature as the trust method, you do not have to specify this option. If you specify a custom token, enter the URI of the QName for the value type.
Required No Data type String
Local Name
Local name of the security token to use to validate the intermediary.
If you enter a value in the Local Name field, define a trusted ID evaluator for the token consumer that is associated with this token.
WAS has the following predefined local name types:
BasicAuth
Signature
Attention:
- If you enter one of the predefined local name types, you can leave the URI field blank. For example, to specify "BasicAuth", enter http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-username-token-profile-1.0#UsernameToken in the Local name field and do not enter a value in the URI field.
- If you specify a custom value type for a custom token, specify the local name and the URI of the Quality name (QName) of the value type. For example, you might enter Custom in the Local name field, and http://www.ibm.com/custom in the URI field.
Required No Data type String
