<port-component> | <auth-method>CLIENT-CERT</auth-method> | <transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee> | </port-component> This doesn't look right. As per the xsd, the port-component needs to have a port-component-name too. Something like: <port-component> | <port-component-name>blahblahblah</port-component-name> | <auth-method>CLIENT-CERT</auth-method> | <transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee> | </port-component> Let us know how it goes.
