Plain Text Password

Include a plain text password in the user name token header of a SOAP request when the user password does not need to be encrypted. The Data Integration Service can process plain text passwords in the UsernameToken element.

When the password is plain text, the UsernameToken element includes the following child elements:

Username element: Contains a user name in the Native security domain or any LDAP security domain. The default security domain is the Native security domain. If the user name belongs to the Native security domain, the Username element does not require the name of the security domain. If the user name belongs to an LDAP security domain, the user name must be preceded by the name of the security domain and a slash (/).

Password element: Contains the password in plain text. Set the Type attribute of the Password element to "PasswordText."

The following sample SOAP header shows an example of a UsernameToken element with a plain text password:

<soap:Header>
      <wsse:Security xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd">
         <wsse:UsernameToken wsu:Id="UsernameToken-14" xmlns:wsu="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd">
            <wsse:Username>Administrator</wsse:Username>
            <wsse:Password Type="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-username-token-profile-1.0#PasswordText">Administrator</wsse:Password>
         </wsse:UsernameToken>
      </wsse:Security>
</soap:Header>
