GT4 Message & Transport Level Security Developer's Guide

Introduction

This component contains mainly framework level code and as such developing services and clients utilizing this component does in general involve either programmatically or declaratively driving the framework level security code. Now, what does this entail? On the programmatic side of things it involves acquiring credentials, passing these credentials on to the framework and setting various authentication and protection related flags, either in a descriptor or as properties on a stub object. On the declarative side it involves setting up security descriptors, both client and service side, to prescribe the security policy used to drive the security framework code.
