OnBehalfOf

The OnBehalfOf capability allows an initiator to request a security token on behalf of somebody else. The content of the OnBehalfOf element to be sent in the STS RequestSecurityToken call can be set in one of two ways:

  • By specifying a value for the JAX-WS property SecurityConstants.STS_TOKEN_ON_BEHALF_OF ("ws-security.sts.token.on-behalf-of")

  • By specifying a value for the STSClient.onBehalfOf property.

The allowed values are the same as above for the ActAs property.
