<h3><a name="wsseccfg"></a>Configure Web services security (Version 5.0.2 or later)</h3>
<p>Web services security for WebSphere Application Server - Express Version 5.0.2 and above is based on standards included in the <a href="http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/ws-secure/" target="_">Web services security specification</a> <img src="www.gif" width="18" height="15" alt="Link outside Information Center"> (http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/ws-secure/). Web services security is a message-level standard, based on securing Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) messages through XML digital signature, confidentiality through XML encryption and credential propagation through security tokens.</p>
<p>The specification proposes a standard set of Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) extensions that you can use to build secure Web services. These standards confirm integrity and confidentiality, which are generally provided with digital signature and encryption technologies. In addition, Web services security provides a general purpose mechanism for associating security tokens with messages. A typical example of the security token is a user name and password token, in which a user name and password are included as text. Web services security defines how to encode binary security tokens such as X.509 certificates and Kerberos tickets.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> If you are using Apache SOAP 2.3 (deprecated), see <a href="wssoapsc.htm">Secure SOAP services</a> for information about configuring Web services security.</p>
