About the security setting for the BS service and interoperability:
.NET is expecting a message with the following requirements,
1. WS Security 1.1 (We need to agree on this)
2. A SAML token as client credential signed and encrypted with the
BSL.Com certificate (And the userID profile as a claim in that token)
In terms of security policy, this means you have a SymmetricBinding with
X509 cert as protection token and an (probably bearer?) issued token
as a SignedEncryptedSupportingToken.
It is set up differently for Metro based BS service: SymmetricBinding
with X509 cert as protection token and an keyed ssued token as an
EndorsingSupportingToken.
There are 2 issues here:
1. The BS web service client may be created against a local copy of the
service wsdl. In this case we have a mismatch of security setting
between the
BS client and the BS server.
2. Even if the BS client is created from the live wsdl of the BS
service, we actually have never tested the interoperability with issued
token as other than
an EndorsingSupportingTken (see the plugfest
scenarios at http://mssoapinterop.org/ilab/). This is because of the
use/lack of use of str-transform for signing SAML assertion in a message in
different platforms. It is being addressed but may take time.
To ensure interoperability in this stage, we should all use issued token
with a symmetric proof key as an EndorsingSupportingToken.
The issued token can be encrypted by the Active STS with the service
certificate and of course signed by the STS.
Thanks!

Am I missing something, do I need to configure something else in the Metro
Trader Client application to secure the messages and use a SAML token ?.
Thanks
Pablo.
