Error description
Customer wants to send a signed SAML token as part of a JAX-WS response message. When the policy and bindings are configured to do so, no error occurs, but the response message does not contain a SAML token.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: IBM WebSphere Application Server * * developers of WS-Security enabled JAX-WS * * applications and SAML * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: If a JAX-WS WS-Security policy * * includes a SAML response token, the * * response message does not contain a * * SAML token. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Install a fix pack that contains this * * APAR. * **************************************************************** When a JAX-WS WS-Security policy is configured to include a SAML token in the response message, the response message will not contain the SAML token. No errors will occur on the provider, but the client will generate an error because the required SAML token is not in the response message.
Problem conclusion
Originally, the JAX-WS WS-Security runtime was not designed to return SAML tokens in response messages. Scenarios have been found where one or more SAML tokens are required in response messages. The JAX-WS WS-Security runtime is updated so that it can send SAML Bearer and Sender-Vouches tokens in response messages. A SAML Holder-of-Key token cannot be sent in a response message. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix packs 8.0.0.11 and 8.5.5.5.
