Hi Nandana,

Yes, that's right, but I'm looking for some additional functionality. I should 
phrase my question more specific:
On successful authentication  (with whatever method - HTTP auth, usename token, 
X509, SAML, Kerberos?)
I'd like to generate some custom credentials that are used later on to 
(re-)authenticate with the backend systems
that the Web service invokes. Rampart supports a password callback handler for 
username token that I can use
for that purpose. What mechanisms does Rampart offer to hook in such a 
processing when HTTP-, X509- or
SAML authentication is done?

Thanks, Dietmar

Hi Dietmar,

Does Rampart/WSS4J offer some authentication method using X509
certificates?


If we use a digital signature with X509 certificate, it provides us
authentication +
integrity, right ? or am I missing something ?

Thanks,
Nandana
