Phil is right! I observe the same thing: the frond-end is RESTful; the back-end is mixed. Personally, I think it would be good for OAuth to be deployed as wide as possible. (The SAML/OAuth ideas I think are working the same problem.)

Hi Grant,

IMHO the main reason why the OAuth specification does not standardize OAuth 
usage specially for SOAP is because most people by now realized that SOAP, as 
another layer of encapsulation, does not add a lot of value.

Thank you very much Phil!

The thing is, the Oauth spec just mentioned putting the Access Token into HTTP 
header “Authorization”. I don’t think it applies to SOAP as this header is not 
visible from SOAP stack perspective.

So, when we talking about the soap header, are we talking about the header used 
by WS-Security? Could you please be kindly providing me one example on putting 
the Access Token into SOAP header and let me know which product is currently 
using this mechanism?

Thanks a lot,
Grant.

Grant,

You put it in the soap header of course in the same spot as any other 
credential.  :-)

Hi all,

We were discussing the possibility to use Oauth2 token on SOAP in our product.

The preferred way in mentioned in RFC is of course to put it to HTTP 
Authorization header, but in this case it will beyond the scope of SOAP stack 
and I am not sure it shall be the correct way to go. It is also recognized that 
there is some implementation (such as salesforce) is using some SOAP header 
(“sessionId”) to put this token, but it looks like a private implementation and 
I did not find any specification supporting it.

Could any experts here illustrate any organization or forum is working on using 
Oauth2 token for SOAP request? As there are quite some legacy SOAP based web 
services, hopefully it is a question makes sense for you as well.

Thoughts?
