Colm and I were discussing this a bit yesterday as well. I'm not really sure what to do. :-(
One thought I had was that if we could somehow get the wsdl's (any Mac TimeMachine users that may have them from a previous build or something?) I could throw them up on my personal server for now. Reconfigure the examples to then just use the local server. That would work for WS-Sec, and WS-SC tests, but not the Trust due to the need for the MS STS. With Colm's proposal this morning, we could have an STS as well. That said, the above is a bit of work and I'm not sure how worth it that would be at this point. If we're going to to all that work, it's probably just better to create a couple new "simpler" samples that show the various security options. For example, if we pull in the STS, a good example that uses that to show using SAML to secure a service or similar might be a bit more useful than the interopfest things that just test a bunch of policies.
