Support for WS Secure Conversation and Other Security Options (Enhanced) 

Use

Web services (WS) can use SOAP message security options for fault reporting, message age, and WS Secure Conversation.

·        Fault reporting provides functions to report to the WS provider faults that occurred during the message transmission.

·        Message age provides functions to add elements to reject a WS message that does not arrive within the configured time period.

·        WS secure conversation enables the WS consumer and the WS provider to establish a security context for the communication of WS messages.

Effects on Existing Data

The additional message security options add new elements to the SOAP envelop used for the WS message communication.

Effects on System Administration

The additional message security options are enabled from the logical port configuration on the WS provider system and the WS binding configuration on the WS consumer.
