In your example above, I would expect the X509 cert to be carried in the message and for its IssuerSerial to match that in the IssuerSerial in any referencing STR. > > With respect to the WS Security specification I interpret the > inclusion value "always*" or "once" without any additional "Require*" > assertion as "include the token as a BinarySecurityToken and reference > it using a Reference in the SecruityTokenReference". Is this a correct > interpretation? [MJG] Include the token in the message and reference it using a Direct Reference from the STR (e.g. reference to a wsu:Id in the case of, for example, a Username token ). > > Also, with respect to WSS how to interpret or act on the > RequireEmbeddedRefernce assertion? WSS does not specify an "embedded" > mechanism for X509 certificates. [MJG] I thought embedded was defined as the token appearing verbatim inside wsse:Embedded inside wsse:SecurityTokenReference but perhaps my memory is faulty. > > Related issues: > none > > Proposed Resolution: > > Clarify behaviour of the "token inclusion" and "token reference" > interworking to avoid misinterpretations and probable interop > problems. > > > Werner Dittmann > Siemens COM MN CC BD TO > mailto:Werner.Dittmann@siemens.com > Tel: +49(0)89 636 50265 > Mobil: +49(0)172 85 85 245 >
