Configuring the Kerberos token policy set for JAX-WS applications
Use this topic to enable the Kerberos token policy set for JAX-WS applications.
Before you begin
Prior to beginning this task, you must specify the Kerberos configuration information for IBM® WebSphere® Application Server. For more information, see Kerberos (KRB5) authentication mechanism support for security.
The configuration model for the Kerberos
token enables you to choose from the following existing WebSphere Application
Server frameworks:
- For JAX-RPC applications, the deployment descriptor and bindings are used in the configuration. JAX-RPC application includes the deployment descriptor for a Kerberos custom token, which is configured with authentication tokens.
- For JAX-WS applications, the configuration uses a policy set and bindings. The JAX-WS application is attached by a custom policy with the Kerberos token configured with authentication tokens, message protection tokens, or both.
Note: Fix packs that include updates
to the Software Development Kit (SDK) might overwrite unrestricted
policy files. Back up unrestricted policy files before you apply a
fix pack and reapply these files after the fix pack is applied.
