# 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();
                 }
             }
