* USERS AFFECTED:  IBM WebSphere Application Server            *
*                  administrators of WS-Security enabled       *

* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: In WS-Security, CRLs cannot be          *
*                      configured for validating the digital   *

****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:  Install a fix pack that contains this       *
*                  APAR.                                       *
****************************************************************
In WS-Security, properties exist to configure signature
validation of the digital signature that is contained within a
SAML token.  There are no properties to configure a certificate
revocation list (CRL) or intermediate certificate.

Problem conclusion

The WS-Security runtime is updated to support the
configuration of certificate revocation lists (CRLs) and
intermediate certificates for the validation of the digital
signature contined within SAML tokens.

The following optional properties are added to the SAML token
consumer callback handler.  These properties will only be
active when the signatureRequired property is set to true (the
default value):

CRLPATH
CRLPATH_n, where n is a non-negative integer

X509PATH
X509PATH_n, where n is a non-negative integer

Provide the path to a CRL file on the CRLPATH properties.
Provide the path to a non-root certificate authority (CA)
certificate on the X509PATH properties.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 7.0.0.23 and 8.0.0.3.  Please refer to the
