Extract WSS UsernameToken element

Overview

You can use the Extract WSS Username Token filter to extract a WS-Security UsernameToken from a message if it exists. The extracted UsernameToken token is stored in the wss.usernameToken message attribute.

To process the UsernameToken later in the policy, you can specify this message attribute in the configuration screen for the processing filter. For example, to sign the UsernameToken, you can simply specify the wss.usernameToken message attribute in the What to Sign section of the Sign Message filter. Open the Message Attribute tab on the What to Sign screen, and specify this attribute to sign the user name token.
