UsernameOverTransportAssertion Class

  • Article

Represents a turnkey security assertion that authenticates the client using a UsernameToken security token. The SOAP message is not encrypted or digitally signed, so a secure transport should be used with this assertion. WS-Security 1.1 or 1.0 can be used with this assertion.

Remarks

Given that most applications are secured based on the network topology in which the Web service resides, WSE 3.0 introduces a scenario-based methodology to secure communication to and from a Web service. That is, instead of piecing security together for an application using multiple low-level security operations, WSE allows you to apply security at a higher level using a prepackaged set of security operations, which are known as security assertions. For common scenarios, WSE provides a set of these security assertions that are called turnkey security assertions.

A turnkey security assertion can be used with or without a policy file. To use the UsernameOverTransportProfile turnkey assertion without a policy file, use the UsernameOverTransportAssertion class and the process specified in the How to: Secure a Web Service Without Using a Policy File topic. To use the UsernameOverTransportSecurity turnkey assertion with a policy file, use the <UsernameOverTransportSecurity> Element with the process specified in the How to: Secure a Web Service Using a Policy File topic.

When you use the usernameOverTransportSecurity policy assertion in a policy file, it is recommended that you do not specify the client's user name and password in the policy file.
