Sadly, I was able to get this portion of your code below to work for
Metro but not CXF:
rc.put(BindingProvider.USERNAME_PROPERTY, userName);
rc.put(BindingProvider.PASSWORD_PROPERTY, password);
I have been meaning to look at this to find out the reason why. But in
the meantime, CXF has an alternate method of supplying this information,
documented here[1].
