>             Project: WSS4J
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: WSS4J Core
>    Affects Versions: 1.6.12, 1.6.15
>            Reporter: Roland Mueller
>            Assignee: Colm O hEigeartaigh
>             Fix For: 1.6.16

> Since an upgrade to WSS 1.6.12 my log files are flooded by WARNings of the SignatureTrustValidator class "No Subject DN Certificate Constraints were defined. This could be a security issue".
> The certificate in my request is contained in the keystore and according to the SIG_SUBJECT_CERT_CONSTRAINTS explanation in the WSHandlerConstants class "These constraints are not used when the certificate is contained in the keystore (direct trust).". Therefore I did not define any constraints, the corresponding object is null.
> The commit https://fisheye6.atlassian.com/changelog/wss4j?cs=1511796 introduced the behavior change, now also calling the SignatureTrustValidator.matches(...) constraints validation function where it previously did not, and according to above description, should not.
