Passing credentials using WS-Security headers

When invoking an AEM Forms on JEE service using web services, you can use WS-Security headers to pass client authentication information that is required by AEM Forms on JEE. WS-Security defines SOAP extensions to implement client authentication, message confidentiality, and message integrity. As a result, you can invoke AEM Forms on JEE services when AEM Forms on JEE is deployed as stand-alone server or within a clustered environment.

How you pass WS-Security headers to AEM Forms on JEE depends on whether you are using Axis-generated Java classes or a .NET client assembly that consumes a service’s native SOAP stack.

This document covers the following topics:

• Passing client authentication using Axis-generated Java classes

• Generating Axis library files required to invoke the Encryption service

• Invoking the Encryption service using a WS-Security header

• Passing client authentication using a .NET client assembly

• Invoking the Encryption service using a WS-Security header
