Hashed Password

The UsernameToken element includes the following child elements:

Username element.
Contains a user name that can be found in the PowerCenter Native security domain.

Password element.
Contains a hashed password. The password must be hashed with the MD5 or SHA-1 hash function and encoded to Base64. The Type attribute of the Password element can be omitted or set to “PasswordText”.

The following code shows an example of the security header for a request that uses a hashed password:

<soapenv:Header>
    <!--  UsernameTokens -->
    <inf:Security>
        <UsernameToken>
            <Username>Native/Administrator</Username>
            <Password>Ntm58Cxf7SBOQAz3OlsTq1nv-D7</Password>
        </UsernameToken>
    </inf:Security>
</soapenv:Header>
