New Article: Using WS-Trust Support in Metro to Secure Web Services
I just published a new tech tip:
Using WS-Trust Support in Metro to Secure Web Services
It focuses on how to use different types of proof keys associated with issued tokens from an STS to secure Web services.

Hi Jiandong Guo.
I have read the article of you. Very interesting.
I have to write a diploma thesis in which I have to call web services out of a java application. What I need is the user name that calls the web service. I spent about 2 weeks in studying Sun Java System Access Manager for this but now I think it is to big for my thesis. My question is now: Is it possible to realize it with the mechanism you described in your article? I mean the user should login when he starts the application with username and password. Then he can call different web services but on the server I should know his username (identity based web services).
I hope you can give me just an advise if I can do this with the STS of Metro so that I don't loose more time in studying the mechanism.
Thanks.

Yes, you can. Login to the STS using username password. And then using the SAML asaertion carrying the username
to access the different services.
