MessageContext mc = context.getMessageContext();

Then one of:

 AuthorizationPolicy policy = 
(AuthorizationPolicy)mc.get(AuthorizationPolicy.class.getName());

or if you want to use JAX-WS standard calls:

mc.getPrincipal()

to get the User principal from the HTTP stack and pull the username and 
password from there.
