Property Value

The label parameter for the key derivation algorithm. The default is the value of the UsernameTokenManager.Label property.

Exceptions

Remarks

Unlike an X509SecurityToken , a UsernameToken does not have a key associated with. Consequently, the key for a UsernameToken is generated using various properties of the token, including the Label and Nonce properties.

The default value for the Label property of UsernameToken security tokens within an application can be specified by setting the value of the <label> element in the application's configuration file. For more details, see <label> Element.

Both the sender and the receiver of a SOAP message must agree on the same label. Therefore, if you change the Label property of the UsernameToken , you must also change the Label property of the UsernameTokenManager receiving the SOAP message. This can also be accomplished by adding a <label> element with the same value to the configuration files for both the sender and receiver of the SOAP message.
