> According to WS-SecurityPolicy, EndorsingSupportingTokens signs timestamp if using transport security, and sign main message signature if using message layer security. 
> In CXF WS-Security,   if TLS is used (regardless of Transport policy applied or not), it always requires timestamp be signed, without checking if message layer security is configured and main message signature is endorsed.
> AbstractSupportingTokenPolicyValidator.java
>     /**
>      * Check the endorsing supporting token policy. If we're using the Transport Binding then
>      * check that the Timestamp is signed. Otherwise, check that the signature is signed.
>      * 
>      * @return true if the endorsed supporting token policy is correct
>      */
>     private boolean checkEndorsed(List<WSSecurityEngineResult> tokenResults) {
>         if (isTLSInUse()) {
>             return checkTimestampIsSigned(tokenResults);
>         }
>         return checkSignatureIsSigned(tokenResults);
>     }
> Say  we have a ws-security policy which requires main message signature be endorsed, timestamp itself is not signed by endorsing token, and transport policy is not applied/attached.
> If we run the test case over plain HTTP, the test case passes.
> If we run the test case over HTTPS, the test case fails.
> This raises following questions:
> 1. If you have both transport security and message layer security, which one to check? or which one first? or both?
> 2. When enforcing EndorsingSupportingToken, does "Transport security" in EndorsingSupportingToken means "Transport Policy Applied" or  "SSL applied regardless of  Transport policy applied".
> I just want to bring this up for discussion first. If we have a conclusion on how it should work, I will submit a patch.
> Thanks
