Specify a User Through Configuration File

By default, as a PPM server the PPM Web service toolkit enables UsernameToken, Timestamp, and Encrypt.

Set Headers

In the client-axis2.xml file, the following "OutflowSecurity" section defines how WS-Security headers are set on an outgoing SOAP message generated by the toolkit.

<module ref="rampart" />
<parameter name="OutflowSecurity">
   <action>
     <items>UsernameToken Encrypt Timestamp</items>
     <user>admin</user>
     <passwordCallbackClass>examples.security.PasswordCallbackHandler
     </passwordCallbackClass>
     <passwordType>PasswordText
     </passwordType>
     <encryptionParts>{Element}{http://docs.oasis-open.org/
       wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-
       1.0.xsd}UsernameToken</encryptionParts>
     <encryptionUser>ppmservice</encryptionUser>
     <encryptionPropFile>client.properties
     </encryptionPropFile>
   </action>
</parameter>

To specify a fixed user name for the web service call, simply change the value of the <user> element in the client-axis2.xml file.

Set Password

To set the password for this particular user, following these steps:

1. Open <webservice_toolkit>/java/ client/src/examples/security/PasswordCallbackHandler.java

2. Change the default password "admin" to the desired password.

Example:

public class PasswordCallbackHandler implements CallbackHandler
{

String username = null;

   public void handle(Callback[] callbacks) throws
IOException,
           UnsupportedCallbackException {

     for (int i = 0; i < callbacks.length; i++) {
        WSPasswordCallback callback =
          (WSPasswordCallback)callbacks[i];

        // obtain password. This can be customized to obtain
        // password from any desire source and apply any
        // necessary algorithm.
        //
        // if your logic requires the username, you can get
the
        // user name by:
        // String username = callback.getIdentifier();
        //
        String password = "admin";

        // set the obtained password
        callback.setPassword(password);
     }
   }
}

Specify User

The following code describes how to specify the user through a configuration file.

String repositoryPath =
System.getProperty("client.repository.dir");
        String axis2 = repositoryPath + "/conf/clientaxis2.
xml";
        File file = new File(axis2);
        if (file.exists()) {
           try {
               ctx = ConfigurationContextFactory

.createConfigurationContextFromFileSystem(
                             repositoryPath, axis2);
             } catch (Exception e) {
                 e.printStackTrace();
             }
         }
