Description

I tried to deploy a cxf consumer as part of a servlet webapplication. When I run my example using mvn jetty:run everything works just fine as expected. But when I deploy my application to my glassfish 3 container I get the following error message:

com.sun.xml.ws.api.security.trust.WSTrustException: WST0017:Could not obtain STS metadata. MEX call to STS http://my.server.org:8081/SecurityTokenService/UT/mex failed.

Looking into the STS Server Log it contains the following errors:
