Attributes and Elements

The following sections describe attributes, child elements, and parent elements

Attributes

Attribute	Description
mode	Optional. Specifies the type of security that is applied. Valid values are shown below. The default value is Transport. This attribute is of type SecurityMode.

mode Attribute

Value	Description
None	Security is disabled.
Transport	Transport security is provided using TLS over TCP or SPNego. The service may need to be configured with SSL certificates. It is possible to control the protection level with this mode.
Message	Security is provided using SOAP message security. By default, the SOAP body is encrypted and signed. This mode offers a variety of features, such as whether the service credentials are available at the client out of band, the algorithm suite to use, and what level of protection to apply to the message body. Client authentication is performed once per session and the results of authentication are cached for the duration of the session.
TransportWithMessageCredential	Transport security is coupled with message security. Transport security is provided by TLS over TCP, or SPNego, and ensures integrity, confidentiality, and server authentication. SOAP message security provides client authentication. By default, client authentication is performed once per session and the results of authentication are cached for the duration of the session.
