SOAP Security Header "how/where?" questions

[davbrat]

Hello All,

I'm treading into new territory here and I need to know how the following values used in the wsa/wsu/wsee tags are created.
Most of these are inside the  wsse:Security  (Security Header) of the SOAP header.

My five issues are...

1)  wsu:Id="Timestamp-0983e8c1-e822-4648-8066-33839f54a6a0"      ! where does this value come from?

2a) <wsu:Created>2007-03-02T22:45:41Z</wsu:Created>
2b) <wsu:Expires>2007-03-02T22:50:41Z</wsu:Expires>
!Both look like a simple format of...  yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ssZ  hmmmm...  but how long should the expiry time be?


3) wsu:Id="SecurityToken-0d55d82c-d16d-4c0e-826b-21bf7c805a0f"   ! where does this value come from?

4) <wsse:Nonce>w6dgDz1DMzKntFsFdEcjhw==</wsse:Nonce>      ! I know that this value is random

and...
Inside the SOAP Header

5) <wsa:MessageID>urn:uuid:c07c9aef-28db-4843-8dfcc5b4d3dc363b</wsa:MessageID>     ! where does this value come from?


Thanks in advance!!!!

Hi Dave,

since these all seem to be questions relating to wsse, I'm thinking Google might be your friend here. I'm also guessing that some of them at least (like the expires time) are fairly arbitrary.

I don't have any specific experience with wsse though, so no useful info to add I'm afraid.

cheers
