-Authentication of webservice requests is not done by Serlvet filters, but webservice handlers instead. Scout provides the following authentication mechanism:
-* {{ScoutLink|JAXWS-RT|BasicAuthenticationHandler}}
-* {{ScoutLink|JAXWS-RT|WsseUsernameTokenAuthenticationHandler}}
-This list is not complete, meaning that you can implement your own authentication mechanism.
-An authentication handler knows how to extract credentials from within a request. In turn, it passes the requests's credentials to a configured credential validation strategy ({{ScoutLink|JAXWS-RT|ICredentialValidationStrategy}}) to be validated. This enables you to arbitrary combine an authentication mechanism with a credential validation strategy such as LDAP, database or config.ini.
