Configuring basic auth username & password within STSClient

Hello, I'm looking at the Picketlink STS right now.  By default, to be 
able to access the STS endpoint it is necessary to provide a basic auth 
username and password (this is before either UsernameToken or X509 
authentication is done in order to get a token).  I can easily remove 
that requirement from the STS side by editing its web.xml, but was 
wondering whether CXF's STSClient can be configured with basic auth 
info.  The documentation (http://cxf.apache.org/docs/ws-trust.html) 
doesn't suggest such an option is available.

Thanks,
Glen

Hi Glen,

You can't configure the STSClient directly to send a Basic Auth
username/password. Why not just use spring as per any web service
client? e.g:

<http:conduit name="{http://sts.com/stsservice}stsport.http-conduit";>
    <http:authorization>
     <sec:UserName>X</sec:UserName>
     <sec:Password>Y</sec:Password>
    </http:authorization>
  </http:conduit>

Colm.
