Using Third-Party Tools to Create a Digested Password

You can use a third-party tool such as the Java MessageDigest class to create a digested password.

The following example shows how to use the Java MessageDigest class to create a digested password with a timestamp and nonce value and encoded in Base64 :

public static String oasisDigest(String password, String nonce) throws Exception{
   SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'");
   String created = sdf.format(new Date());
   System.out.println("Created : " + created);
   System.out.println("Nonce : " + new String(org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64.encodeBase64(nonce.getBytes())));
   String toDigest = nonce + created + password;
   MessageDigest digest = java.security.MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-1");
   digest.reset();
   digest.update(toDigest.getBytes());
   byte[] hash = digest.digest();
   return new String(org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64.encodeBase64(hash));
}

If you use a web service testing tool such as soapUI to test client applications, you can use the tool to generate the digested password for the client request.
