I agree with George's take on the situation.  I believe that having the
server support multiple authorization mechanisms for a single endpoint is
extremely valuable.  Maybe make a patch to 1.3?

Hi Ruchith,

While I agree that the client needs to have a way of picking the
alternative, server
side enablement is more pressing. In most cases I've encountered, the
authn alternatives
are expressed via out-of-band means - docs, mutual agreement, etc. I'd
love to see
WS-MEX or some kind of policy exchange in rampart but right now the
pressing issue (for
us and apparently to others) is to enable the service to receive
alternative authn
materials.

Best Regards,
George

IMHO we have to improve both Axis2 and Rampart if we are to support
policy alternatives.

A service can express a set of alternatives that it can handle and right
now we should be able to fix Rampart to support this.
However at the client side we should have some way of picking the
alternative. At this point we have to decide how Axis2 client API has to
behave.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Ruchith
