Goal

Part of SOA SUITE 11.1.1.X, Oracle Web Service Manager (OWSM) comes with predefined assertion templates. But it is possible to create custom assertions.
This document will show how to create a custom policy assertion and then attach that new policy to a service.

The steps shown in this note is covered in the following Oracle documentation.

Oracle Fusion Middleware Security and Administrator's Guide for Web Services 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) Part Number B32511-03
14 Creating Custom Assertions
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/web.1111/b32511/custom_assertions.htm#WSSEC1244

In this example we are using a custom policy - ip assertion policy which would validate whether the request that is made to the web service is from a set of ips that have been identified as valid ips.
All steps in this example are done using JDeveloper 11.1.1.3 and WebLogic server 10.3.3.
