Support for WebService passwordDigest handling

During customer engagements we see that many customers are looking for support of the passwordDigest specification for webservice base communication.

passwordDigest is an official part of the WS 1.1 specification; see:
See https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/13392/wss-v1.1-spec-pr-UsernameTokenProfile-01.htm.

At the moment passwordDigest are only supported by IIB on outgoing, but not on incoming connections; what does not really make sense, as the value for the customer is security across the end-to-end scenario.

Thus it would be benefical to support passwordDigest also for the incoming webservice based request

    Idea Review. As part of our policy for regularly reassessing aged ideas we have recently discussed this enhancement request again. This has not been a popular suggestion since it was opened (3 votes in 4.5 years) so unfortunately on this occasion it has been decided that we won't be taking this idea further forward as a business priority.

    RFE Review. Thank you for taking the time to raise this RFE and apologies for the length of time it has been in Submitted status. We agree this is a good suggestion for the future direction of the product although we note that since initially raised there tends to be a lot more community interest in REST API enhancements than web services. We also note that despite being open for two years now this request has only gathered a handful of votes. However, we will continue to monitor for signs of popularity. Status of the RFE is updated to Uncommitted Candidate.
