Description

After turning on schema validation on a web-service with headers that are signed, but not encrypted, the schema validation fails because the "wsu:Id" is not allowed in the schema.

I've seen two forms of this: a complex type header fails with an error saying that the "wsu:Id" attribute isn't allowed, and a simple type header fails saying that no attributes are allowed (except for type, nill, schemaInstance, etc.).

I think this is a bug, as I don't know anything in the WS-Security specs that would prevent signing of simple type headers or prevent subsequent schema validation.

I've worked around this by using complex types and adding "<xsd:anyAttribute namespace="##any" processContents="skip"/>" to those types, but it doesn't seem like this should be necessary, and doesn't fix the simple type problem.
