Using smart card / CAC certificate with ReadyAPI

As of this morning, I am trying to figure out if its possible to use a CAC/Smart card certificate device with ReadyAPI. The intent would be to sign via WSS-Configuration any outgoing SOAP requests. Current work flow is we utilize a .p12 file for a test user, and set that up in WSS-Config with all of the necessary parts and set it to the endpoints we are testing.

 

I am not sure how to achieve that same level of testing with a Smart Card. Any/all insight would be much appreciated!

  • Updating with some more information. I did open a support case for this, to try to figure out if it is indeed possible. It looks like currently it is not, but a feature request is going to be added, so it might be down the road!

        KarelHusa I was aware of that functionality to sign client requests, but as far as I can tell that does not serve the same functionality as setting up WS-Security as seen here. That is what I was being asked to figure out if it works or not. Thank you, though!
