To my understanding the main purpose of the Rahas STS is
to implement WS-SecureConversation only and thus the service-centric
architecture. If you want a full blown STS I suggest you 
look at a fuller implementation, such as Higgins STS from
Eclipse or Ping Identity's STS...

Subject: Rahas as a module

Sorry - new to rampart/rahas so possibly a daft question.

 

I understand that rampart is applied to a service in order to utilise
WS-Security but why is Rahas developed as a module?

 

If I want to provide an STS then I don't necessarily need a 'donor'
service to add STS functionality to, it probably exists in its own
right.

 

Cheers.
