Hello, Just use this link is helpful but my proxy is not a REST proxy. However you just have to create a sequence that call this class before sending the request to the end point (Client --> ESB --> LDAP verification or store --> forward if authentication or 401 reponse else)): http://wso2.org/library/knowledge-base/converting-http-basic-authentication-ws-security-username-token

Thanks, but that link only talks about basic authentication. What we are looking for is the more secure challenge/response digest authentication

HI It is better if you could ask this from 'Identity Server Forum'. Just asks that 'how to use the axis2 client to talk to a digest authentication secured service'. if it needs only a set of properties, HTTP headers, etc., they you can do that by using existing mediators(header or property mediators). Otherwise, you may need to write a custom mediator. Thanks Indika

May be you need to add ws-security using username/password token on soap header but it depends on what you need to secure : Transport ? soap payload just authorization or access control. In my use case I use basic authentication but the next step is to foward a token like saml in secure transport lecel https. So what do you really need ?
