WSSE Username Token is an authentication mechanism to include the user's credentials in the SOAP message headers which also works across firewalls and proxy servers.
However, the disadvantage of WSSE UsernameToken Authentication is that it transmits unencrypted passwords across the network. Therefore, you only should use this authentication when you know that the connection between the client and the server is secure. The connection should be established either over a dedicated line or by using Secure Sockets Layer.
