[jira] [Commented] (CXF-3701) CXF 2.4.1 only supports base64
encoding for nonce of a wsse UserToken
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-3701?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13102685#comment-13102685 ]
Colm O hEigeartaigh commented on CXF-3701:
------------------------------------------
The Nonce of a UsernameToken must contain a Base64 EncodingType as per the Basic Security Profile 1.1 specification:
http://www.ws-i.org/Profiles/BasicSecurityProfile-1.1.html#Nonce/@EncodingType_Attribute_Mandatory
You can disable Basic Security Profile enforcement in CXF by setting the SecurityConstants property "ws-security.is-bsp-compliant" to "false".

> Key: CXF-3701
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-3701
> Project: CXF
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: WS-* Components
> Affects Versions: 2.4.1
> Environment: Windows 7, Java 1.6, maven, spring 3.0
> Reporter: David Smith
>
> Our application uses the wsse Username Token for authentication, PasswordType is Digest.
> With CXF 2.3.2 our server could accept and authenticate requests from .NET C# applications (I believe they use WCF libraries).
> After upgrading to CXF 2.4.1 the server started rejecting requests from the .NET C# applications, complaining that the userName token was invalid (I include stack traces and examples of the SOAP header below). Should say if a client uses Base64 for the encoding then CXF accepts the UserName Token correctly.
> I believe the problem is that 2.4.1 only supports Base64 for the nonce encoding. This seems to be a step backwards from 2.3.2 as it can process the same requests.
> Is this change intentional (something to do with standards?), or is it an oversight?
> Should this be fixed on the .NET client side, or in CXF 2.4.1.
