How to add ;wsse:UsernameToken; WS security header to BW SOAP request.

The UsernameToken carries user name and password. It is used for SOAP message authentication. It follows OASIS: Web Services Security UsernameToken Profile 1.0 standard.

To generate a UsernameToken in BW  you can use BW security policy and security policy association resource.  First, you can create a security policy resource (policy type = outbound, authentication enabled ) and select UsernameToken in Authentication Tab. Then create a security policy association and apply the security policy to your SOAP Request Reply activity.
