Creating new or configuring existing general binding settings

Use this page to create a new client or provider policy set binding. You can also use this page to configure an existing general binding. Empty bindings will be deleted. Scoping a binding to a security domain constrains the configuration options to those applicable to that domain and limits use of the binding to the specified domain.

To view this administrative console page, click Services > Policy sets > General client policy set bindings > New. You can also view this page by clicking Services > Policy sets > General provider policy set bindings > New.

Depending on your assigned security role when security is enabled, you might not have access to text entry fields or buttons to create or edit configuration data. Review the administrative roles documentation to learn more about the valid roles for the application server.

Bindings configuration name

Specifies the name of the new binding configuration.

You must enter a binding configuration name to proceed. The name of the binding is automatically applied when you add a policy type and provide additional configuration information. At that time, the initial Cancel button is replaced with an OK button. Each binding that you add is initially empty, and you are directed to the binding configuration panel to provide additional information for the binding.

Button Resulting action
Add Adds a policy type, such as WS-Security, to a new binding that you create or to an existing binding. You can access the configuration of each policy type binding through the policy type name link. If you click Cancel without providing any configuration information for the policy type, that policy type is not saved or included in the list of policy types. You might receive an attention message that the policy type was not saved as part of the binding configuration.
Delete Deletes a policy type from the list.
OK Associates the name of the binding to the policy type information after you add a policy type and provide additional configuration information.
Cancel Returns you to the General client or provider policy set bindings panel without creating a new binding configuration.

Security domain

This field is only available in a multiple security domain environment and specifies a valid security domain. You can scope the binding to that particular security domain, which is scoped to the global security domain by default.
