What is WS-Security with usernametokens in CXF?
This tutorial modifies the CXF version of the WSDL-first DoubleIt web service to include WS-Security with UsernameTokens. This profile should be used with transport-layer encryption (i.e., SSL) as a minimum to ensure the username and password are encrypted at least between the client and the first recipient node.
How do I set authorizationpolicy in the CXF framework?
