Attributes and Elements
Attributes
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
Type |
Optional attribute. Specifies the algorithm type. WSE supports wsse:AlgEncryption. |
URI |
Optional attribute. Specifies the URI for the algorithm. |
wsp:Preference |
Optional attribute. Specifies the preference for this particular alternative. The preference is expressed as an xsd:int. The higher the value of the preference, the greater the weighting of the expressed preference. |
Child Elements
None
Parent Elements
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
Specifies the encryption requirements for a SOAP message. |
Remarks
This optional element is used primarily for future extensibility.
Example
The following code example defines a policy assertion named encrypted-body-Kerberos that requires the encryption of the <Body> element by a KerberosToken. The algorithm used to encrypt the element must be the one referenced by the http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#tripledes-cbc URI. SOAP messages sent to the http://www.cohowinery.com/Service1.asmx endpoint must adhere to the policy assertion.
Note
This code example is designed to demonstrate WSE features and is not intended for production use.
