The
WS-RX TC Charter requires that WS-RM support the “efficient preservation of the
integrity of reliable contexts by composition with WS-Security or other SOAP
security mechanisms”. The charter also states that “While composition with other
specifications is a goal of the TC, it is also a goal to leave the specifics of
how that composition is achieved outside the scope of this TC.” This proposal
attempts to satisfy these two requirements by defining a set of non-normative
profiles for composing WS-RM with commonly used web services security
mechanisms. The purpose is to aid in the implementation and deployment of
interoperable services and applications that utilize secure, reliable SOAP
messaging systems.
Proposal: Add the attached text as a new chapter to the WS-RM
specification following Chapter 5 (Security Threats and
Requirements)
