Option for WS-Security with Basic Auth header

The SOAPRequest node uses the Security Profile property (in the BAR editor) to specify the security credentials for the outbound request. If a traditional request, this populates the Basic Auth header (ex. Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46cGFzcw==). If you use WS-Security, this populates the UsernameToken of the WSSE header.

As this field represents one or the other, you cannot specify both using the SecurityProfile defined. As a workaround, you can use the option for the WS-Security header and then use ESQL to manually set the Basic Auth header (ex. SET OutputRoot.HTTPRequestHeader.Authorization = 'Basic ' || BASE64ENCODE(username || ':' || password);). But this does not read from the SecurityProfile, so the user/password must be read in plain text or pulled from an external resource.

    Thank you for raising this RFE, which we agree would make a good enhancement for the product. ACEv11 unified the concepts of Security Policy Sets and Bindings along with other product concepts as part of the introduction of Policies inside Policy Projects and the replacement of configurable services from the latest version of the product. With the introduction of the vault and mqsicredentials command which encrypts user credentials when stored on the file system, we have another building block in place which could potentially help here. The next evolution of these aspects could be a secure ability to access credential information from within code in a flow (which would help with the ESQL aspect of the RFE mentioned) - but we also acknowledge deeper changes to security profiles to allow for more dynamic mapping use cases could be helpful to some users. The status of this RFE is updated to Uncommitted Candidate.
