Editing WSDL security profiles
To ensure that your service test uses the correct security
protocols to access a SOAP-based service, you must specify a security
profile for the (Web Service Description Language) WSDL file. After
a security profile is set up, it can be reused in multiple web service
calls.
WSDL security editor overview With the WSDL security editor you can create the SOAP algorithm stacks that are associated with a web service operation. Algorithm stacks contain digital certificate information and the security algorithms that are applied to messages to perform secure communication with a web service.Creating security profiles for WSDL files You can create SOAP security profiles for the web service calls or message returns that require message encryption, signature or other advanced security algorithms.Using a security policy The WS-Policy specification enables web services to use XML to publish their security policies either as part of the Web Services Description Language (WSDL) file (compliant with the WS-PolicyAttachment specification) or as a separate XML document. With the WSDL Security Editor, you can create a security profile that uses a policy that complies with the WS-Policy specification.Adding security stacks To provide better WSDL security, you can make use of many security algorithms in the service test.Implementing a custom security algorithm You can define your own security algorithms for SOAP security profiles by implementing custom security Java™ interfaces that can be used in the WSDL security editor. With custom security algorithms, you can implement proprietary security algorithms that transform the XML before sending and after receiving message content.Adding WS-Addressing to a security configuration The WS-Addressing specification provides transport-neutral mechanisms that enable SOAP-based web services to communicate addressing information. You can use WSDL security algorithms to add WS-Addressing to your service tests.
