I migrated a custom UsernameTokenManager class from .Net 1.1/WSE 2 to
.Net2.0/WSE 3 and ran into an annoying problem.

The WSE 2.0 config that worked was:

<security>
<securityTokenManager
type="Proxies.MyUsernameTokenManager, IfisClient"

xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd"
qname="wsse:UsernameToken" />
</security>

The migration wizard gave me the following:

<security>
<securityTokenManager>
<add
localName="wsse:UsernameToken"
type="Proxies.MyUsernameTokenManager, IfisClient"

namespace="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd"/>
</securityTokenManager>
</security>

This did not work because the migration wizard did not remove the wsse:
prefix. Xml namespaces strike again!

But I spent way too long trying to figure that out.

I hope this tidbit of knowledge was useful

Hi Mark,
The configuration for the username token manager should look like this:

<securityTokenManager>
<add type="Proxies.MyUsernameTokenManager, IfisClient"
namespace="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd"
localName="UsernameToken"/>
</securityTokenManager>

Yes Pablo that is correct.

It just seems odd to me that we have to declare an attribute named
'namespace' that looks a lot like an xml namespace but actually isn't. Why
couldn't WSE 3 just declare an actual xml namspace like WSE 2 did?
