To Configure the Accept Digest Passwords

Do the following to configure Sun Java System WSRP Producer to accept Digest Passwords.

1. Run the command /opt/SUNWdsee/ds6/bin/dscfg set-server-prop pwd-storage-scheme:CLEAR to change the password storage scheme of the Directory Server so that plain text passwords are stored.

   ---

   Note –

   It is assumed that the default installed location of the Directory Server is /opt/SUNWdsee.

2. Create a new user in the AM console, to ensure that the Username Token Profile with Password Digest can be used.

Recommendations

• When using the WSS User Name Token Profile (with PasswordDigest), communication between the producer portal and consumer portal should be secure because the password is sent in plain text between the consumer and the producer.

• Two different consumers that point to the same producer URL should use the same identity propagation mechanism types.
