All,

Following issue I just posted to the WSE newsgroup. I post it to this
list too since I have no idea if this is a WSS4J or WSE 2.0 issue? Does
anyone have done similar experiences with WSE <-> WSS4J?

--->
We run a Java-based (Axis with WSS4J) webservice and we have both Java
and 
.NET (C#) clients. While encryption is no problem for all client-server 
combinations we have problems with signature validation from C#
requests. The 
strange thing is that we have a MS-box with the C#-client which requests
can 
be successfuly validated by the Java end point and on the other (with
the 
same exe-File) box it doesn't work. After seeing that I tried to find
the 
difference between these two C# clients. The only difference I could
find is 
in the request is in the CanonicalizationMethod-element (prefix and
namespace 
(re-)definition; is already defined as default namespace in the 
Signature-element): 

this one works: 
....<Signature xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#";> 
          <SignedInfo> 
            <CanonicalizationMethod 
Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2001/10/xml-exc-c14n#"; /> 
            <SignatureMethod 
Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#rsa-sha1"; />.... 

this one fails: 
....<Signature xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#";> 
          <SignedInfo> 
            <ds:CanonicalizationMethod 
Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2001/10/xml-exc-c14n#"; 
xmlns:ds="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#"; /> 
            <SignatureMethod 
Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#rsa-sha1"; />.... 

I'm absolutely not sure if this is causing the problem but at least this
is 
a difference between the two boxes/clients that should not occur.
Following 
the versions we use (on both c#-clients): 

- .NET 1.1 SP1 
- WSE 2.0 SP2 
- WinXP SP2 

Any ideas? Thanks 
Yves
