Example: Establishing a security context token to secure reliable messaging

This example scenario includes functions that are required for the composite scenario of Web Services Reliable Messaging (WS-ReliableMessaging), WS-SecureConversation, and WS-Trust. The scenario describes how to use WS-SecureConversation with WS-ReliableMessaging, the scenario is described from the WS-SecureConversation perspective.

The flow of this Web Services Reliable Messaging (WS-ReliableMessaging) scenario is very similar to the flow of the WS-SecureConversation scenario, and the exchange of the application messages is very similar to the Secure Conversation scenarios. The main difference in the two example scenarios is that the WS-ReliableMessaging sequence is secured with the security context token and scopes the WS-ReliableMessaging sequence to the security context token.

The following figure describes a summary of the message flows that are required to establish a security context token to secure reliable messaging.

Scenario

The WS-ReliableMessaging sequence is secured with the security context token and is scoping the WS-ReliableMessaging sequence to the security context token. This scenario focuses on the message exchanges that are using the security context token in the overall flow.

Note: The exact detail of how WS-ReliableMessaging is validating the WS-ReliableMessaging sequence, with respect to the security context token scoping, is not described.

Typically, to use secure conversation and a security context token to secure reliable messaging, the following steps are involved;
