Trusted ID evaluator

A trusted ID evaluator (com.ibm.wsspi.wssecurity.id.TrustedIDEvaluatorImpl) is an abstraction of the mechanism that evaluates whether the given ID name is trusted.

Depending upon the implementation, you can use various types of infrastructure to store a list of the trusted IDs, such as:

The trusted ID evaluator is typically used by the eventual receiver in a multi-hop environment. The Web services security implementation invokes the trusted ID evaluator and passes the identity name of the intermediary as a parameter. If the identity is evaluated and deemed trustworthy, the procedure continues. Otherwise, an exception is created and the procedure is stopped.
