Authenticating user over the internet

KY
Hi,
I am using custom authentication using SOAP headers to authenticate users of
a web service. I cannot use windows authentication as our client
applications need not in the same domain as that of server. Also, I don't
want to use WSE. I am sending user name and password in the SOAP header in
clear text. But I don't want to send username and password in cleartext
form. What is the best way to send username and password over the internet?
Thanks,
Kalyani

You can encrypt the entire SOAP payload using a SoapExtension (not
WSE). Read:
