Subject: New drafts for AS4


 
Hello,
 
Jacques and I worked on cleaning up the AS4 draft for the 2nd PR over the past few days. 

ODT source:
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=41222
 
PDF export:

ODT source with diffs to the CS
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=41223
 
Those of you with AS4 implementations and/or WS-Security expertise, please have a look at the examples (one new) in section A.
 
This draft does not take into account some potential enhancements:
 
1) There has also been some discussion about splitting the Client Conformance Clause in two separate clauses, 
-  one requiring full WS-Security support (X.509 and UserName token)
-  and the other only requiring the UserName token (relying on SSL/TLS to protect the message)
Advantage:  even easier to implement and no PKI requirements  
Downside:   another conformance clause is confusing.
 
2) A conformance clause that requires support for AS2 and AS4,  like the "Gateway V2/V3" profiles require support for ebMS 2.0 and 3.0.
Advantage:  may increase acceptance of and confidence in AS4 in communities that are currently AS2 users.
Downside:   another conformance clause is confusing.
 
If the TC decides in favor of these changes, they can easily be added to the spec.
 
Pim
