Axis 2: X.509, Rampart - Using credentials for authentication with no encryption/signing

Is it possible to use X509 for WS-Security authentication based on 
credentials from keystore, without encryption and without signature.  If 
it is, what are the properties that you need to set in Rampart config, 
since it seems that you can only set the encryption and the signature 
keystores (and SSL keystores), but there is no property for authentication 
keystore.

Can you please elaborate more on your requirement...

Signing is also a way of authenticating.

Thanks & regards.
