To configure Application Server facilities for use by message security providers

  1. If using a version of Java SDK prior to version 1.5.0 (J2SE 5), and using encryption technology, configure a JCE provider.
  2. If using a username token, configure a user database, if necessary.

    When using a username/password token, first configure an appropriate realm and an appropriate user database for the realm.

    Configuring a user database is discussed in To Edit a Realm.

  3. Manage certificates and private keys, if necessary.
Next Steps

Once the facilities of the Application Server are configured for use by message security providers, then the providers installed with the Application Server may be enabled as described in To enable providers for message security.
