[information about installing the component - may link to Installation Guide]

Configuring

Information on configuration settings and environment variables can be found in the public interface guide.

Deploying

This component is deployed as a part of Java WS Core.

Testing

To execute security tests ensure that Ant with JUnit are configured. Also make sure to copy junit.jar found in JUnit distribution to the $GLOBUS_LOCATION/lib directory.

Also all these tests require a valid credential. FILLME: some notes on how to get a user credential ?

The security tests are included in $GLOBUS_LOCATION/lib/wsrf_test_unit.jar - contains all other tests

To execute the tests pass the said jar file from the above to the test script as described in the Java WS Core Developer's Guide. To ensure that only security tests are run, set -DsecurityTestsOnly=true.

Note: These run WS Authentication and WS Authorization tests.
