Re: In Rampart version 1.4 is it possible to create a policy where the client is required to send a WS_Security Header with an X509 cert and the service is not required to reply with WS_Security header.

Hi Mark,
       If I understood the scenario correctly, applying the policy at
message level should solve your problem i.e. you apply the policy only to
the incoming message ( w.r.t server side). This is possible with Rampart and
policy based configuration. This tutorial [1] explains how to do it.

regards,
Nandana
