FW: GT4 GSI documentation

All, Recall last week I took an action to ask Ian for info on the post-WS GT security documentation. Here is Ian's response. I took a quick look and found a rich description of the API's, but have been unsuccessful so far finding the wire format schema. The overview is a good starting point.

All,
Recall last week I took an action to ask Ian for info on the post-WS GT security documentation. Here is Ian’s response. I took a quick look and found a rich description of the API’s, but have been unsuccessful so far finding the wire format schema. The overview is a good starting point.

Andrew, the wire formats are as defined in the external standards referenced on Page 1 of the overview PDF document: WS-Security and WS-SecureConversation for message-level security (individually signed SOAP messages) 13.

IBM, Microsoft, and VeriSign, Web Services Security Language (WS-Security), TLS with X.509 proxy certificates for transport-level security (plain SOAP messages over a TLS socket) 5. Dierks, T. and C.
