SOAP Header Security in Oracle Service Bus

Question

Currently we are in the process of implementing the SOAP Header Security through Oracle Service Bus. We have a requirement that BPEL need to call a external web service. That web service will be registered in OSB. While making the call, the OSB need to add the SOAP security header(user name & Pwd) in proxy service before forwarding the request to business service. Can you please help me find some information about that.

Hi Manoj,
The request payload which is going to the target is
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Header xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
</soap:Header>
<soapenv:Body>
<man:GetDefaultRechargeValuesRequest xmlns:man="http://www.NII.com/ManagePrepaidRecharge/workflow/ManagePrepaidRecharge">string</man:GetDefaultRechargeValuesRequest>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
whereas the target expects the soap header populated. the payload expected by the target is
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Header xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<gsa:Authentication xmlns:gsa="http://www.nextel.com.br/Wbs/Gsa">
<gsa:Account>test</gsa:Account>
<gsa:Password>test</gsa:Password>
<gsa:Guid>f65748e63b01</gsa:Guid>
</gsa:Authentication>
</soap:Header>
<soapenv:Body>
<man:GetDefaultRechargeValuesRequest xmlns:man="http://www.NII.com/ManagePrepaidRecharge/workflow/ManagePrepaidRecharge">string</man:GetDefaultRechargeValuesRequest>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
The Problem now is, when i call a business service(WSDL of the target) from a proxy service and when i set the above expression to the $header using replace action in the proxy service itself, the above expression,instead of going as a request to the business service, it is populated in the response.
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Header xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<gsa:Authentication xmlns:gsa="http://www.nextel.com.br/Wbs/Gsa">
<gsa:Account>test</gsa:Account>
<gsa:Password>test</gsa:Password>
<gsa:Guid>f65748e63b01</gsa:Guid>
</gsa:Authentication>
</soap:Header>
<soapenv:Body>
<ns0:GetDefaultRechargeValuesResponse xmlns:ns0="http://www.NII.com/ManagePrepaidRecharge/workflow/ManagePrepaidRecharge">
<ns0:StandardHeaderBlock>
<ns2:ServiceState xmlns:ns2="http://xmlns.oracle.com/apps/StandardHeaderBlock">
<ns2:errorCode>SOA_ERR_TARGET_SYSTEM_FAILURE</ns2:errorCode>
<ns2:errorDesc>
OSB Service Callout action received an error response
</ns2:errorDesc>
</ns2:ServiceState>
</ns0:StandardHeaderBlock>
</ns0:GetDefaultRechargeValuesResponse>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
Since the authentication details are not reaching the target, it is giving a target system failure. Can you suggest a remedy to this please.
