Remarks

The WS-Security specification specifies that when a binary security token is contained or referenced within a SOAP message, its value type, which indicates the security token type, should be specified. The value type value for a given security token, however differs depending on whether the security token is contained within the SOAP message or it is referenced within the SOAP message. The WSSecurity.ValueTypes and WSTrust.TokenTypes classes contain string constants for security tokens natively supported by WSE that are contained within a SOAP message. Whereas, the KeyIdentifier.ValueTypes class contains string constants representing the value types for the security tokens natively supported by WSE that are referenced within a <KeyIdentifier> XML element.

This property returns a string that must be registered in the application configuration file.
