To configure facilities for use by message security providers

1. If using a version of JDK prior to version 1.5.0 (J2SE 5), and using encryption technology, configure a JCE provider.
2. If using a username token, configure a user database, if necessary.

   When using a username/password token, first configure an appropriate realm and an appropriate user database for the realm.

   Configuring a user database is discussed in To Edit a Realm.

3. Manage certificates and private keys, if necessary.

Next Steps

Once the facilities are configured for use by message security providers, then the providers may be enabled as described in To enable providers for message security.
