Roland Mueller updated WSS-504:
-------------------------------

    Description: 
Since an upgrade to WSS 1.6.12 my log files are flooded by WARNings of the 
SignatureTrustValidator class "No Subject DN Certificate Constraints were 
defined. This could be a security issue".
The certificate in my request is contained in the keystore and according to the 
SIG_SUBJECT_CERT_CONSTRAINTS explanation in the WSHandlerConstants class "These 
constraints are not used when the certificate is contained in the keystore 
(direct trust).". Therefore I did not define any constraints, the corresponding 
object is null.
The commit https://fisheye6.atlassian.com/changelog/wss4j?cs=1511796 introduced 
the behavior change, now also calling the SignatureTrustValidator.matches(...) 
constraints validation function where it previously did not, and according to 
above description, should not.
