Verify SOAP XML using a wsse:SecurityTokenReference

See more XML Digital Signatures Examples

This example verifies a SOAP XML Digital Signature where the KeyInfo in the XML Signature is a wsse:SecurityTokenReference to the X.509 certificate embedded elsewhere in the SOAP XML.

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// The SOAP XML with digital signature verified in this example is available at 
// https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampleData/signedSoapBinarySecurityToken.xml

signedSoapXmlUrl := 'https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampleData/signedSoapBinarySecurityToken.xml';

// First, let's get the signed SOAP XML..
http := CkHttp_Create();

// The signed XML downloaded from the above URL contains the following.
// Note: Everything we need to verify the signature is already available within the signed XML.
// The KeyInfo part of the Signature contains a reference to the wsse:BinarySecurityToken
// For clarity, here is the KeyInfo section extracted from the Signature below:
// 
// <ds:KeyInfo><wsse:SecurityTokenReference><wsse:Reference URI="#x509cert00" ValueType="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-x509-token-profile-1.0#X509" /></wsse:SecurityTokenReference></ds:KeyInfo>
// 
// Chilkat has the capability to automatically follow the SecurityTokenReference.  It will automatically locate the 
// certificate contained in the wsse:BinarySecurityToken element (in this case identified by Id="x509cert00"), 
// automatically extracts the public key from the base64 X.509 certificate, and uses it to verify the signature.
