XML tokens are offered in two formats...

The information in this article supports V5.x applications only that are used with WAS V6.0.x and later. The information does not apply to V6.0.x and later applications.

Using extensibility of the <wsse:Security> header in XML-based security tokens, we can directly insert these security tokens into the header.

SAML assertions are attached to Web services security messages using Web services by placing assertion elements inside the <wsse:Security> header.

The following example illustrates a WS-Security message with a SAML assertion token. 

<S:Envelope 
    xmlns:S="...">&
   <wsse:Security 
    xmlns:wsse="...">

     <saml:Assertion
          MajorVersion="1" 
          MinorVersion="0"
          AssertionID="SecurityToken-ef375268"
          Issuer="elliotw1" 
          IssueInstant="2002-07-23T11:32:05.6228146-07:00"
          
    xmlns:saml="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.0:assertion">
          ...
      </saml:Assertion>

   </wsse:Security>
 </S:Header>

 <S:Body>
 ...
 </S:Body>

</S:Envelope>
