Parameters

• token

• authenticatedPassword
  The password to match against the one received in the SOAP message.

Exceptions

Remarks

When a SOAP message is received that contains a UsernameToken , WSE uses the UsernameTokenManager security token manager to process the contents of the security token. During that process, the UsernameTokenManager calls the VerifyToken method to verify the validity of the token, which in turn conditionallly calls the AuthenticateToken method and then the VerifyPassword method. The VerifyPassword method verifies the password portion of the security token. If the password is not valid an exception is thrown.

The default implementation of the VerifyPassword method verifies the validity of the password for a UsernameToken in a SOAP message based on how the password is sent in the SOAP message. If the password is sent hashed, VerifyPassword calls the VerifyHashedPassword method. If the password is sent in the SOAP message in plain text, the VerifyPassword method calls the VerifyPlainTextPassword method. If there is no password sent in the SOAP message, VerifyPassword verifies that AuthenticateToken successfully retrieved a non- null password.
