Web-Services-based client authentication via Ws-Security

Two WS-Security profiles, the Username Token profile and the Kerberos profile, are supported by FileNet® P8. Support for additional standard profiles, as well as non-standard WS-Security compliant approaches, can be integrated with FileNet P8 Web services, using the FileNet P8 Web Service Extensible Authentication Framework.

Clients of a Web service must produce WS-Security compliant headers to use any of the FileNet P8 Web services. Most Web service-based applications are created using a toolkit, such as Microsoft's Visual Studio, which handles the creation of WS-Security compliant headers.
