Yes ! In the case of signature, the way to extract the Principal is similar to the way we extract WSUserameToken principal. Basically one gets the DN of the certificate used to sign the incoming message as a java.security.Principal.

Hi I have gone through the ws02 article [http://www.wso2.net/kb/169] whcich explains how to get a security principal for a UserNametoken scenario. Just wondering would the same thing hold for x509 based authentication profile too? If thats the case then I am assuming the service code can be independenpent of the authentication profile the user configures for the service - as I can allways use that api to get the security principal.To the best of my knowledge this how a j2ee authentication will work and the programmer uses only context.getPrincipal() to get the principal. Can anyone pls let me know if that sample [http://www.wso2.net/kb/169] will work for x509 too. thanks Anamitra --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
