----------------------------------------------------------
This is also the case for the UsernameTokenInterceptor as well.
This seems to be a terrible default stance to take. Is this not a huge
security hole?
The wss4j UsernameTokenValidator calls the verifyUnknownPassword when no
password is provided in the username token. However I would have thought this
should not be the default. If a Password type of NONE was specified then of
course passwords should not be validated. But where a password type of Text is
provided the Password Validator should throw up an error for a missing password.

> Project: CXF
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: WS-* Components
> Affects Versions: 2.7.2
> Reporter: Jason Pell
> Assignee: Jason Pell
> Attachments: patch.txt, UsernamePasswordPolicy.xml
>
>
> See my attached WS-Policy which I attached via @Policies annotation to
> Placement.BINDING_OPERATION_INPUT.
> If I include an incorrect Password I get the expected authentication error.
> If I actually remove the password I get no authentication failure. The
> UsernameTokenPolicyValidator only checks that the username is provided.
> I have a simple patch for this but would appreciate some weigh in from
> ws-policy cxf devs please.
