WS-Security supports a variety of security token types for authentication, such as username tokens, binary tokens, and custom tokens. Username tokens are used in basic authentication, whereas binary tokens (like x.509 and LTPA tokens) are used in more advanced forms of authentication. In this release of WebSphere Integration Developer, the module deployment editor documentation describes how to implement basic authentication using username tokens.

In basic authentication, username tokens are inserted in the request message of the import. There are typically no corresponding username tokens in the response message from the export.
The following topics describe how to implement basic authentication using a username token.
