Martin,

this "Signature with UsernameToken" functions was more or
less reverse engineered, we hadn't any specification at
hand. Therefore it could be that some actions/behaviour is
not completely correct.

Do you have, by any chance, the original specification? Does
anybody who reads the mail has the "official" spec for
this function?

Regards,
Werner
