Policy Sets and Policy Set Bindings editor: main panel

Use this panel, which is in the Policy Sets section of the editor, to associate a policy set binding with a policy set, and to specify whether the binding is a consumer or provider binding.

A policy set binding must always be associated with a policy set. When adding a policy set binding, the administrator must select, on the main panel, the policy set with which it is associated. Changing the associated policy set on the main panel removes any previous configuration for the policy set binding.

The administrator must also select whether the policy set binding is to be a Consumer or Provider binding.

Consumer

A consumer policy set binding can apply only to the following nodes:

SOAPRequest
SOAPAsyncRequest
SOAPAsyncResponse

Provider

A provider policy set binding can apply only to the following nodes:

SOAPInput
SOAPReply

If your message flow incorporates both sets of nodes, create two policy set bindings, one for the consumer nodes and the other for the provider nodes. Associate both policy set bindings with the message flows in the BAR file editor. A policy set binding can be deleted independently of the policy set, but a policy set cannot be deleted when it has an associated policy set binding.

Use the Compatibility Mode option to control the internal name-spacing of the bindings schema. When Compatibility Mode is selected, the policy set and bindings are limited to supporting Username and X.509 tokens only. When you create policy set bindings, Compatibility Mode is selected automatically based on the version of the selected broker. It is also selected by default for policy set bindings that were created with previous versions of the product. If the policy set and bindings include new token types such as Kerberos, SAML pass-through, or LTPA pass-through, you must deselect the Compatibility Mode option. If you select Compatibility Mode on an existing policy set binding that includes new token types (such as Kerberos, SAML pass-through, or LTPA pass-through) a warning is displayed and these keys are ignored when the data is saved.

You can also use the panel to rename the policy set binding.
