Artix 5.5  JAX-WS uses the org.apache.cxf.ws.security.wss4j.WSS4JOutInterceptor for inserting the WS-Security Token into the SOAP message. Below is an example of how to specify the user name and password directly in the configuration file that are used to populate the header values. The xml snippet can be used with the sample located in <ARTIX_JAVA_HOME>\\samples\\basic\\wsdl_first

...

 <jaxws:client name="{http://apache.org/hello_world_soap_http}SoapPort"
        createdFromAPI="true">
        <jaxws:properties>
            <entry key="schema-validation-enabled" value="true" />
   <entry key="password" value="Extraspecialpassword" />
        </jaxws:properties>
  <jaxws:outInterceptors>
            <bean class="org.apache.cxf.binding.soap.saaj.SAAJOutInterceptor"/>
            <ref bean="UPHeader"/>
        </jaxws:outInterceptors>
    </jaxws:client>
    
  
  <bean
        class="org.apache.cxf.ws.security.wss4j.WSS4JOutInterceptor"
        id="UPHeader">
        <constructor-arg>
            <map>
                <entry key="action" value="UsernameToken"/>
                <entry key="user" value="alice"/>
                <entry key="passwordType" value="PasswordText" />
            </map>
        </constructor-arg>
    </bean>

...

The above configuration will  result in the following message that contains the WS-Security UsernameToken.

 </soap:Envelope>

Please be aware, that by specifying the password in clear text within a configuration file could introduces a possible security weakness.

Further details on how to specify the credentials programmatically can be found in the Artix Guide "Artix Security Guide, Java Runtime" under the section "Programming Authentication".
