                 Key: CXF-2659
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-2659
             Project: CXF
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: WS-* Components
    Affects Versions: 2.3
            Reporter: David Valeri


When using an IssuedToken assertion, location information about the STS in the assertion is ignored and instead must be entirely manually configured.

It is convenient for consumers to be able to request tokens with minimal additional configuration.  If providers embed sufficient information in the WS-A EPR (Issuer element) of the IssuedToken assertion, sufficient information exists in the policy document to configure the STS client.  The option to supplement or override this information using the Configurable mechanism currently supported provides consumers with the greatest flexibility.

Alternatively, if the policy specifies an IssuerName, this name could be used to perform the lookup of the bean under the Configurable framework.

If these two elements are omitted, then falling back to the existing configuration mechanism would be supported.

The ultimate order for applying configurations and the application of some or all configuration patterns remains to be considered.
