I am not sure if there's a way to do this using the WS-Policy-based 
configuration.  I tried several combinations about nine months ago with the 
Rampart 1.4 along with Axis 1.4, and was unable to strike the right balance to 
make that happen.  So I would also be interested if there is a way of doing 
this sort of one-sided policy setting in Rampart.

Having said that, I was able to do this with the deprecated Rampart basic 
configuration, though I only tried it on the client-side.  By setting the 
OutFlowSecurity parameter to include the necessary certificate and signature 
and setting the InFlowSecurity parameter to an empty set, the client was able 
to comform to this sort of policy.  The same could probably be done on the 
service-side using Rampart-based.

Subject: In Rampart version 1.4 is it possible to create a policy where the 
client is required to send a WS_Security Header with an X509 cert and the 
service is not required to reply with WS_Security header.

We are using Rampart 1.4.  We require our clients to send soap requests 
that contain a WS_Security header with an client side X509 digital 
certificate.   (The service authenticates and authorizes the client based 
on the transmitted x509 certificate.)    We do not not require the service 
to return a reply with an WS_Security header.  (That is our preference.)


In Rampart version 1.4 is it possible to create a policy where the client 
is required to send  a WS_Security Header with an X509 certificate and the 
service is not required to reply with  WS_Security header.   We would like 
the service to return a soap envelope with no WS_Security stuff.

If the answer is yes, can you tell me where I can find a sample policy 
that supports these requirements.
