SOAP Fault "MustUnderstand headers: [{http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd}Security] are not understood."
Issue
- We are using Jboss-cxf for publishing web service and wss4j for authentication and configured accordingly in
cxf.xml. - We pass the below as a part of soap header along with the request:
<soapenv:Header>
<!--WSSE Security Header-->
<wsse:Security soapenv:mustUnderstand="1" xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd">
<wsse:UsernameToken wsu:Id="UsernameToken-17644953" xmlns:wsu="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd">
<wsse:Username>xxxxxxx</wsse:Username>
<wsse:Password Type="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-username-token-profile-1.0#PasswordText">yyyyyyyyy</wsse:Password>
</wsse:UsernameToken>
</wsse:Security>
</soapenv:Header>
- when we test through soapUI we get sometimes the below error:
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<soap:Fault>
<faultcode>soap:MustUnderstand</faultcode>
<faultstring>MustUnderstand headers: [{http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd}Security] are not understood.</faultstring>
</soap:Fault>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
- when we change the value of
mustUnderstandas"0"in the SOAP request then it works, but many times it works withmustUnderstandas"1"as well.
