Introduction
This guide contains advanced configuration information for system administrators working with Message/Transport-level Security. It provides references to information on procedures typically performed by system administrators, including installing, configuring, deploying, and testing the installation.

|---|---|
Message/Transport-level security is built, installed and deployed as part of Java WS Core - which is part of a default GT installation. See Installing GT 4.1.3 for installation details. |
The main administration issues for this component deal with configuring credential related settings. There are multiple mechanisms for doing this:
Security Descriptors
- Container Security Descriptor: This is the preferred mechanism.
- Service Security Descriptor
- CoG properties
- Environment variables
- Relying on default behavior. The only default behaviors available concern the proxy file and trusted certificates locations.
More information on these mechanisms can be found in the public interface guide.
