Obtaining a Security Token - Rampart/CThis article by Supun Kamburugamuva explains how to obtain a security token using the WS-Trust implementation for Rampart/C. A brief introduction to the benefits of WS-Trust is provided, followed by a closer look at the API details of the WS-Trust implementation. Authorization with Apache Rampart/C, Is It Possible?We all know that it is possible to use the feature known as 'Username tokens' in Apache Rampart/C to "Authenticate" a user. This feature can be used to verify if a user has access to a given system or not. Security requirements of a service does not end there. A system cannot grant carte blanche access blindly to its users. It needs to be more specific on credentials. For example, both Alice and Bob are in the system but only Alice can access my personal details. A Quick Reference Guide for Rampart/C ConfigurationsRampart/C is the security module of the Apache Axis2/C web services engine. The following tutorial by Kaushalye Kapuruge will guide you on how to configure Rampart/C in order to satisfy different security requirements in SOAP message exchanges.
Signing SOAP Messages with Apache Rampart/CEver thought of how you can guarantee the safe delivery of SOAP messages? Do you know whether villains are spying on open channels? Maybe it's time to open your eyes. With simple configuration settings, you can now provide authenticity, data integrity, and non-repudiation to SOAP messages. The following article by Kaushalye Kapuruge explains how to provide SOAP message signatures using Rampart/C.
The Insider's Guide to Apache Rampart/C and OMXMLSecurityApache Rampart/C is the security module of the Apache Axis2/C engine, which uses OMXMLSecurity as the XML-Security library. In this article, Kaushalye Kapuruge gives a clear view of the architecture of Rampart/C and OMXMLSecurity.
Secure Messaging for Apache Axis2/C - Kaushalye Kapuruge
Apache Rampart/C has been implemented to support secure messaging for the Apache Axis2/C SOAP engine. In this interview, Kaushalye explains the finer points of Rampart/C and its relationship with Rampart/Java.
OpenSSL Tutorial for Apache Rampart/C
This tutorial by Kaushalye Kapuruge explains how to use the OpenSSL toolkit to configure Apache Rampart/C, security module of Apache Axis2/C in your system. This includes the necessary practical knowledge as well as the conceptual knowledge.
Encrypt with Apache Rampart/C
Message level security has become a hot topic for the past few years and plays a very crucial role in SOA. It provides confidentiality and integrity for messages exchanged, independent from the underlying transport protocol. Among WS-* specifications, WS-Security caters to the above purposes. As the security module for Apache Axis2/C, Apache Rampart/C has extended its capabilities to support WS-Security. The first phase of this is to implement SOAP message encryption. Following article by Kaushalye Kapuruge will describe how to use Apache Rampart/C module along with Apache Axis2/C engine to encrypt SOAP messages.
