The bug 4213 includes updating both the Primer and the Guidelines with an
example of an empty nested assertion.
This Proposed Resolution is to address the Guidelines part.
Target:
Guidelines document
Proposal:
Add the following text to the end of section 4.4.2 after example 4.4.
In another example, WS-Security Policy defines sp:HttpToken assertion to
contain three possible nested elements, sp:HttpBasicAuthentication,
sp:HttpDigestAuthentication and sp:RequireClientCertificate. When the
HttpToken is used with an empty nested policy in a policy expression by a
provider, it will indicate that none of the dependent behaviors namely
authentication or client certificate is required.
(add this in an example box...example 4.5 )
<sp:TransportToken>
<wsp:Policy>
<sp:HttpsToken>
<wsp:Policy/>
</sp:HttpsToken>
</wsp:Policy>
</sp:TransportToken>
A non-anonymous client who requires authentication or client certificate
will not be able to use this provider solely on the basis of intersection
algorithm alone.
