WS-Security with symmetric key only

[Miguel A Paraz <mp...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
I originally posted this to the XFire mailing list since I am using
that. I was advised to post here.

I started going through the wss4j code, and I see that the part that
opens the KeyStore (Merlin) works with certificates.

Is working with a SecretKey stored in the KeyStore supported?

Hi,
I would like to create WS-Security messages with a symmetric key
(SecretKey) only, without public key/private key/certificate.

I'm working with a service which precomputes and serializes the DESede
SecretKey, and manually constructs the SOAP XML document. So in my
attempt to connect to it using XFire, I do a -gensecretkey with a
JCEKS Keystore and try to use it.

I guess it's not supported? Thanks for any advice.
