Hi Shobha,
What kind of authentication do you wish ? In other words,
what's the target of the authentication, for example the SOAP
client software, the SOAP client machine, or the acutual client
person ?
And how ? By just one pair of User Id and Password ? If so,
how do you like to use HTTP Basic Authentication ? It won't
require an additional development of Handlers to you.

Subject: RE: SOAP request redirection
Hi,
I need to develop a SOAP proxy. I was thinking that by using handler
I'll authenticate the request coming for a webservice and then allow it
to access the actual webservie.
So the flow will be as follows
SOAP Client
|
V corp A
===[ Firewall ] ===
|
V
{ Internet }
|
V goes back to client
===[ Firewall ]=== ^
| corp B |
V
[ Webserver in DMZ ] --->(Not authenticated)
Authentication webservice
| If authenticated allowed to access the webservice
V
-------[ Firewall ] -------
|
V
[ SOAP Server ]
Any webservice
Regards,
Shobha Rani J
