§ Exercise 3. Protecting a Web Service by Using Username Tokens

After completing this unit, students will be able to:

§ Protect a Web service by encrypting data with X509 certificates

§ Apply a WSE 3.0 policy to a Web service

§ Protect a Web service by using a Username token

Unit 2: Implementing WSE 3.0 Custom Policy Assertions

This unit introduces the WSE 3.0 custom policy assertion mechanism.

It shows the architecture of the custom policy assertions in WSE 3.0 and how to use custom policy assertions in a Web service.
