Trust service targets collection

Use this page to view a list of targets, which are application server service endpoints. You can manage tokens by specifying which token is to be issued when access to a specific endpoint is requested.

To view this administrative console page, click Services > Trust service > Targets.

Show confirmation for update runtime command

Specifies to enable or disable the display of the confirmation window before the WebSphere Application Server trust service configuration is updated when you click Update Runtime.

Click Preferences and then select the Show confirmation for update runtime command check box. If you select this check box, the confirmation window is displayed before updates to the trust service configuration are made. If you do not select this check box, clicking Update Runtime updates the trust service configuration without first displaying a confirmation window.

Data type: Check box
Default: Enabled (checked)
Select

Specifies a check box for the service endpoint Universal Resource Locator (URL) that you want to select for further actions.

For existing endpoints, select the checkbox for the service endpoint and select one of the following actions:

Actions Description
Change Token
Changes the token that is issued when access to an endpoint is requested. Selecting Inherit Default in the Change Token menu causes the following actions to occur:
  • The security token assignment is removed for the endpoint.
  • The token assigned as the Trust Service Default is issued for access to the endpoint.
  • The endpoint is no longer displayed in the list of endpoints that have tokens explicitly assigned.
Only endpoints that are explicitly assigned a security token are displayed in the list. Endpoints that inherit the default do not display in the list.
New Assignment

Defines a new service endpoint.

Initially, each endpoint is explicitly assigned the Trust Service Default token. By default, the pre-configured Security Context Token (SCT) is assigned, but that can be changed.

Data type: Button
Update Runtime

Updates the trust service configuration for any changed attachments, targets, and token information.

If the Show confirmation for update runtime command preference is enabled, then a panel is displayed where you can confirm that you want to update the trust service configuration. If the preference is disabled, updates the trust service configuration immediately without any confirmation.

Data type: Button
Service Endpoint URL

Specifies the Universal Resource Locator (URL) of the service endpoint for the explicitly assigned token.

This column lists the default service endpoint, Trust Service Default, and any custom service endpoints that have a token that is explicitly assigned to the endpoint, such as: http://localhost:9080/EcommerceSTS.

Data type: String
Default: Trust Service Default
Token Name

Displays the name of the token to be issued when access to the endpoint is requested.

To inherit the default token, select the check box for a custom service endpoint URL, click Change Token > Inherit Default.

You can change the token type that is explicitly assigned as the Trust Service Default, but the token type cannot be left unassigned. If the token is not explicitly assigned, then the endpoint inherits the token that is assigned as the Trust Service Default token.

Click a token name link to access detailed information about the token. You can modify the token information, except for the token name. It is recommended that you do not modify the class name or the token type schema URI for the default token type, Security Context Token.

Changes to token properties apply to all tokens of this type that are issued for any endpoint.

Data type: String
Default: Security Context Token
Token Type Schema URI

Specifies the schema Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) for the token type.

This column displays the schema URI for the explicitly assigned token type (for example, Security Context Token) in a valid URI format. The token type schema URI is a property of the token name and describes the version of the specification that is implemented for the security token.

Data type: String
Default value: http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/02/sc/sct
