14.1 Configuring the Web Services Framework

The Web Services Framework page lets you edit and manage all the details that pertain to all Web services. This includes the framework for building interoperable identity services, permission-based attribute sharing, identity service description and discovery, and the associated security mechanisms.

  1. In the Administration Console, click Devices > Identity Servers > Edit > Liberty > Web Service Framework.

  2. Fill in the following fields:

    Enable Framework: Enables Web Services Framework.

    Axis SOAP Engine Settings: Axis is the SOAP engine that handles all Web service requests and responses. Web services are deployed using XML-based files known as Web service deployment descriptors (WSDD). On startup, Access Manager automatically creates the server-side and client-side configuration for Axis to handle all enabled Web services.

    If you need to override this default configuration, use the Axis Server Configuration WSDD XML field and the Axis Client Configuration WSDD XML field to enter valid WSDD XML. If either or both of these controls contain valid XML, then Access Manager does not automatically create the configuration (server or client) on startup.

  3. Click OK.
