SOA Agent JAX-WS Handler

The SOA Agent JAX-WS Handler is a custom JAX-WS Handler that intercepts requests for JAX-WS web services and authenticates credentials obtained from intercepted requests against associated user directories configured in SOA Security Manager:

Note: The SOA Agent JAX-WS Handler can obtain credentials from SOAP requests or from associated SiteMinder session cookies of users with pre-established SOA Security Manager and SiteMinder sessions.

If SOA Security Manager authentication is successful, the SOA Agent JAX-WS Handler determines whether an authenticated user is allowed to access a protected JBoss resource, based on associated SOA Security Manager authorization policies.
