Supported Authentication Mechanisms

This attribute specifies the authentication mechanisms supported by the SOAP Receiver. Authentication mechanisms offer user authentication as well as data integrity and encryption. By default, all available authentication mechanisms are selected. If a mechanism is not selected and a WSC sends a request using it, the request is rejected. Following is a list of the supported authentication mechanisms:
