Nonce causing invalid username token
The application I am integrating the webservice into generates a wsse security header containing a ‘Nonce’ attribute. As far as I’m aware, this is a standard element of wsse security.
It appears that the API refuses requests that contain Nonce in the UsernameToken. In order to work around this, I would have to create and implement a custom WSE policy assertion. This is not an issue in SOAP UI as one can fully customize the SOAP envelope, however I imagine this is quite restrictive for users attempting API integration in their applications.
Is there something you can do your side to prevent the webservice from rejecting requests with a superfluous nonce element?

I have taken matters into my own hands and gone the custom policy assertion route.
Hello @oliver.sherlock,
could you provide the HTTP data for your request and the XML that you are trying to create?
Best Regards

Hi Kamil, Sure.

XML RESPONSE:
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> xmlns:ns1=" ns1:InvalidSecurityToken An" target="_blank">http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd">ns1:InvalidSecurityToken An invalid security token was provided (An error happened processing a Username Token)
Worth noting that using SOAP UI I replicated the XML request but removed the nonce token, resulting in a successful response.
