WSSE Security for Web Service Targets

You can select a WSSE security type when you create a web service target definition.

The following table shows the available WSSE security types:

WSSE Security Type	Description
None	The PowerCenter Integration Service does not add the WSSE security header to the generated SOAP request. Default is none.
PasswordText	The PowerCenter Integration Service adds security header for WSSE security authentication to the generated SOAP request. Password is stored in the clear text format. You can also provide a base64 encoded hash password.
PasswordDigest	The PowerCenter Integration Service adds security header for WSSE security authentication. Password is stored in a digest form which provides effective protection against replay attacks over the network. The PowerCenter Integration Service also adds NONCE (a random generated value that is valid only once for that specific username token) and CREATED (timestamp of the Username token in UTC timezone format) to the generated SOAP request.

If you select a WSSE security type, the Designer adds the fields wsse_Username and wsse_Password to the web service target definition. You can pass values for the user name and password from upstream transformations.

When the PowerCenter Integration Service creates a SOAP request to connect to the web service, the PowerCenter Integration Service adds a WSSE security header. The WSSE security header contains the authentication information in the wsse_Username and wsse_Password fields. The format of the user name and password is based on the security type you selected.
