Web Service Security Policy

This blog explains about accessing Web Services secured with 'Useraname Token' policy:

‘Username Token’ is a WS security policy in which authentication information (user name and password) for accessing services, will be part of request xml header.

Corresponding Oracle WS Security policy is: 'oracle/wss_username_token_client_policy'

Java code to add information to request xml header:

 SecurityPoliciesFeature securityFeatures = new SecurityPoliciesFeature(new String[] { "oracle/wss_username_token_client_policy" });

 ProjectPortType projectPortType = projectService.getProjectPort(securityFeatures);

 Map<String, Object> reqContext = ((BindingProvider)projectPortType).getRequestContext();

 reqContext.put(BindingProvider.USERNAME_PROPERTY, "username");

 reqContext.put(BindingProvider.PASSWORD_PROPERTY, "password");
