<h6><a name="wsseccfaltpasv"></a>Configure the Web services server for LTPA token authentication</h6>
<p>This task is used to configure Lightweight Third-Party Authentication (LTPA). LTPA is a type of
authentication mechanism in WebSphere Application Server - Express security that defines a particular
token format. The purpose of the LTPA token authentication is to send the LTPA token from the first Web
service, which authenticated the originating client, to the downstream Web service.</p>
<p>After the downstream Web service receives the LTPA token, it validates the token to verify that the
token has not been modified and has not expired. For validation to be successful, the LTPA keys that
are used by both the sending and receiving servers must be the same.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> You can only configure client LTPA authentication for a Web service that
calls another Web service. Do not attempt to configure LTPA from a pure client.</p>
<p>Perform the following steps in the WebSphere Development Studio Client for iSeries to configure the
server for Web services signature authentication:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Open the webservices.xml deployment descriptor for your Web services application in the Web
Services Editor of the WebSphere Development Studio Client for iSeries. For more information, see <a href="astk.htm">Configure your Web services application</a>.</p></li>
<li><p>Click the <strong>Security Extensions</strong> tab.</p></li>
<li><p>Expand the <strong>Request Receiver Service Configuration Details --&gt; Login
Configuration</strong> settings.</p></li>
<li><p>Select <strong>LTPA</strong> to authenticate the client using the LTPA token received from the
request.</p></li>
<li><p>Save the file.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Next, perform the following steps in the Web Services Editor to specify how the LTPA authentication
information is validated:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Click the <strong>Binding Configurations</strong> tab.</p></li>
<li><p>Expand the <strong>Request Receiver Binding Configuration Details --&gt; Login Mapping</strong>
settings.</p></li>
<li><p>Click <strong>Edit</strong> to view the Login Mapping information. The login mapping information
is displayed.</p></li>
<li><p>Select or enter the following information:</p>
<table border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0">

</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td><strong>Authentication method</strong></td>
<td>The authentication method specifies the type of authentication that occurs. Select
<strong>LTPA</strong> to use LTPA token authentication.</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td><strong>Configuration name</strong></td>
<td>This name specifies the Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS) login configuration
name. For the LTPA authentication method, enter <tt>WSLogin</tt> for the JAAS login configuration name.
This configuration understands how to validate an LTPA token.</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td><strong>Use Token value type</strong></td>
<td>This option determines if you want to specify a custom token type. For LTPA authentication, you
must select this option because LTPA is considered a custom type. LTPA is not part of the Web services
security specification.</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td><strong>Token value type URI</strong> and <strong>local name</strong></td>
<td>If you select <strong>Use Token value type </strong>you must enter data into the <strong>Token
value Type URI</strong> and <strong>local name</strong> fields. For <strong>URI</strong>, enter
<tt>http://www.ibm.com/websphere/appserver/<br>
tokentype/5.0.2</tt>. For <strong>local name</strong>, enter
<tt>LTPA</tt>.</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td><strong>Callback Handler Factory Class Name</strong></td>
<td>This classname creates a JAAS CallbackHandler implementation that understands the following
callback handlers:
<ul>
<li>javax.security.auth.callback.<br>NameCallback</li>
<li>javax.security.auth.callback.<br>PasswordCallback</li>
<li>com.ibm.wsspi.wssecurity.auth.callback.<br>BinaryTokenCallback</li>
<li>com.ibm.wsspi.wssecurity.auth.callback.<br>XMLTokenReceiverCallback</li>
<li>com.ibm.wsspi.wssecurity.auth.callback.<br>PropertyCallback</li>
</ul>
<p>For any of the default Authentication methods (BasicAuth, IDAssertion, Signature, LTPA), use the
callback handler factory default implementation. Enter
<tt>com.ibm.wsspi.wssecurity.auth.callback.<br>WSCallbackHandlerFactoryImpl</tt> for any of the default
authentication methods, including LTPA. This implementation creates the correct callback handler for
the default implementations.</p></td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td><strong>Callback Handler Factory Property</strong></td>
<td>This field is used to specify callback handler properties for custom callback handler factory
implementations. The default callback handler factory implementation does not need you to specify any
properties. For LTPA, you do not need to enter any properties for this field.</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td><strong>Login Mapping Property</strong></td>
<td>This field is used to specify properties for a custom login mapping. For the default
implementations including LTPA, you do not need to enter any properties for this field.</td>
