To use the WS-Security facility you create policy files that specify the security options you want to apply to messages.
Important:
The policy files that the WS-Security facility uses are not standard WS-Policy files. They are a unique format used only by the Integration Server WS-Security facility. Integration Server version 8.2 now provides WS-Security support using standard WS-Policies. For more information, see Securing Web Services Using WS-SecurityPolicy.
