All,

some new stuff and some more flexibility was added to the action
UsernameTokenSignature:

- Alberto Coletti provided some code to use the password type digest 
  for UsernameTokenSignature. Previously only clear-text passwords
  were possible and requires the encryption on UsernameToken
  to protect the password. If you use the digested password encryption
  is not longer necessary. AFAIK Alberto tested this feature
  also with .Net. 

Alberto: can you provide some information how to use this feature together
  with .Net? Configuration, version, etc. ? This would be much appreciated.

- second new feature: I removed the chicken/egg problem for 
  UsernameTokenSignature. Now you can include the UsernameToken into
  the signatureParts parameter and have the UsernameToken signed. This
  idea came from some discussions I had with Shawn McKinney and Rohit
  Chauhan. To accomplish this you may use the following deployment
  parameters:

Client:

 <service name="Ping2b">
  <requestFlow>
   <handler type="java:org.apache.ws.axis.security.WSDoAllSender" >
    <parameter name="action" value="UsernameTokenSignature Timestamp"/>
    <parameter name="user" value="Chris"/>
    <parameter name="passwordCallbackClass" 
      value="org.apache.ws.axis.oasis.PWCallback1"/>
    <parameter name="passwordType" value="PasswordDigest" />
    <parameter name="signatureParts" 
      
value="Body;{}{http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd}UsernameToken";
 />  
    
   </handler>
  </requestFlow>
  </service>

Server:
...
  <requestFlow>
   <handler type="java:org.apache.ws.axis.security.WSDoAllReceiver">
    <parameter name="passwordCallbackClass" 
value="org.apache.ws.axis.oasis.PWCallback1"/>
    <parameter name="action" value="UsernameTokenSignature UsernameToken 
Timestamp"/>
   </handler>
  </requestFlow>
...

  This setup (for Axis 1 handlers) signs the SOAP Body and the UsernameToken 
and 
  uses password type digest.

Ruchith, IMHO we are ready to go for 1.5.3 .

Werner
