Basic Authentication for Web Services

I have build Web Service according to the weblogic 6.1 examples
successfully deploying the .ear file etc.
Now I want to add security to the WebService uri.
I have added a <web-resource-collection> tag to the web.xml file, but
what should I put for the <url-pattern> ?
Am I obliged to 'manually' add <servlet> tags to the web.xml file in
order to add a security constraint to a WebService deployed thru a
.ear ?
Taking WebLogic's own statelessSession.Weather example, what is the
minimum I need to add to the web.xml file to have basic authentication
on the weatheruri ?
Thanks,
Adam

Ok, now I'm confused. Is this a Flex app (runs in the browser) or an AIR app? This makes a difference because in the browser, Flash Player/Flex uses the browser's http mechanism for transport, while AIR implements it directly. The original posted indicated some difference between Firefox and IE, which led me to believe it was a Flex browser app. Difference between these two would make me think something was wrong with the server response, and the two browsers were passing it (the problem) back to Flash Player differently.

Setting Basic Authentication for Web Service in WLS 6.1

Hi,
I am trying to set-up a Basic Username/Password authentication for a Web Service
that is hosted in WLS 6.1.
How do I go about doing that? Also once I get the username and password, how do
I pass that info
to the SOAP servlet to do the authentication? Can you give me some pointers on
this?
Thanks
Madhu

How do you want to do it? Through use of client.jar for the service or
directly? Here is how I do it directly:
String auth = "guest", pwd = "guest";
URL url = new URL("http://localhost:7001");
URL cmdURL = new URL(url.toString()+"/systemtest/TestWebService");
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) cmdURL.openConnection();
String encAuth =
new BASE64Encoder().encode((auth + ":" + pwd).getBytes());
// BASE64Encode distributes long strings on multiple
// lines; we don't like that, no siree
int it = 0;
while ((it = encAuth.indexOf('\n')) != -1
|| (it = encAuth.indexOf('\r')) != -1) {
encAuth = encAuth.substring(0, it) +
encAuth.substring(it + 1);
conn.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic " + encAuth);
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "text/xml");
conn.setRequestProperty("SOAPAction", cmdURL.toString());
conn.setDoOutput(true);
conn.setDoInput(true);
conn.setUseCaches(false);
OutputStream oStr = conn.getOutputStream();
String cmd =
"<?xml version=\"1.0\" ?>\n"
+ "<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap=\"http://schemas.xmls"
+ "oap.org/soap/envelope/\"><soap:Body>"
+ "<ping><arg0>false</arg0></ping>"
+ "</soap:Body></soap:Envelope>";
oStr.write(cmd.getBytes());
oStr.close();
InputStream iStr = conn.getInputStream();
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
while (true) {
int size = iStr.read(buffer);
if (size == -1)
break;
System.out.println(new String(buffer, 0, size));

SUP user authentication for web services

Hi there.
Has anyone in the comunity had any experience with building Web Service based Mobile Business Object (MBO) in SUP 1.5.2. We have built a mobile application for a blackberry device which consumes two ERP web services. The application deploys successfully and runs on the blackberry device just fine. However, untill now the user credentials needed to authenticate a consumer to a web service has been hard-coded into the mobile business object. This, from an accountability point of view, is not an acceptible model (i.e. all mobile users would be logging in to the ERP backend with 1 common user ID).
Has anyone had any experience and could suggest an an alternative solution to this that would support accountability i.e. map SUP users to ERP users, trusted connections etc. and is this possible with SUP 1.5.2?
S

Actually, SUP 1.5.2 just provides the HTTP basic authentication for WS-MBO. It is enable that to create 'username' and 'password' on the WS-MBO as two input parameters. Thus, you can design your device app in SUP to prompt the dialog to accpet the username and password before you access your WS-MBO. Similar, if your web-service has input argument for username and password, you also can design a dialog like above.

Server-side authentication for web services

I was hoping to use Azure's server-side authentication for a HTML/JS web app. Some things are a bit unclear. For example, if a new user authenticates via Facebook, I want to create an associated record on the server-side and associate extra data with the
user, irrespective of the service used to log in. If they log in again, I want the client to be able to get this extra data (eg preferences) from the server. On the back-end, I also want to be able to update particular fields of this record that the user cannot
change themselves. I know how to go about this in a plain Node.js backend, but not sure how some of these basic things map to using Azure's services.

Once the user logs in, you will have their information available to your server scripts. So one option is to use a custom API (or a Mobile Services Table) to insert/read/update the user data. You would protect this endpoint so that only logged-in users can
access it, and then access the
user object to obtain an ID an associate it in a table row. Lookups could be performed by similarly querying for the ID.
In terms of some fields being restricted, you could remove these from the update request itself.
Some pointers that might be helpful:

Implementing authentication for web services

Hi all,
I'm struggling trying to guess how to implement basic HTTP authentication as well as using certificates in order to apply HTTPS, for some web services we've created, running on the Oracle Application Server 10.1.12. The web services were implemented using JDeveloper 9.0.4. Any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks in advanced and regards,
Luis

Hi,
But, I need to develop the web services logon method using WSDL which generated the LogonBindingImpl.java, instead of web services using EJB bean.
Besides, the Web Service logon method (LogonBindingImpl.java) need to accept the input user name and password to check with the user name and password that stored in database table through the EJB bean. If checking successful, client program is allowed to invoke other WebServices method, else login failed exception need to be thrown when client calling other web services methods.
Appreciate the advice here on how to achieve that. Thanks.

How to configure basic authentication for external services

I have a BPM Project (11g) and within the composite I've added an external Web Service reference. This service uses basic authentication.
I would like to deploy the composite with the username and password already configured.
I have tried setting oracle.webservices.auth.username as a binding property and also as a property but neither seem to work. When the composite is deployed the basic authentication username is blank within Enterprise Manager.
It also resets after updating it manually during subsequent releases.
Any ideas?

hi Mahender,
Thanks for your posting!
For this issue, you could refer to this document and tutorials (Microsoft Antimalware Whitepaper ). And you need use the Azure Powershell (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn771718.aspx).

HTTP Basic authentication for proxy service and its wsdl?

Hello:
For some reasons I needed to configure the HTTP basic authentication on a proxy service at OSB 11g. Everything was OK until I realized that, additionally to the authentication when calling the service, the OSB also asks for credentials when I try to get that proxy wsdl file.
My requirements are to secure the proxy service when is called only, not when retrieving the wsdl.
Is this possible to configure on OSB / WLS? How?
Greetings!

If I'm not wrong, Basic authentication is Transport level feature. So passing User/Password in SOAPHeader doesn't make sense. SOAP message can only be sent when you have a HTTP Connection open. During opening of HTTP connection User/Password is required for basic authentication.

User Authentication for Web Services

Hi,
I am developing a web services that resides in Intranet. Thus, would like to implement application layer of user authetication, i.e. to match the input user name and password against Database record through a web service logon() method. If authentication is passed, the client program is allowed to call subsequence web service methods, else exception needs to be thrown when calling subsequence methods.
As understand that each method call to web services is treated seperately. Thus, how can we implement the authentication so that the client program only passes in the user name and password at once through logon() method, instead of perfoming the authentication for each method?
Appreciate the advice. Thanks.

Basic Authentication with Web Service

Hello,
I am running S1AS7 on window XP. I have deployed the sample/jaxrpc/simple with basic authentication enabled. I have also changed to Client.java to set the USERNAME and PASSWORD (ie: stub._setProperty(javax.xml.rpc.Stub.USERNAME_PROPERTY, "j2ee");
Once I have deployed the war file and run the client, I got access denied exception.
I have checked the s1as7 log and here is the details:
FINE: Logging in user [j2ee] into realm: file using JAAS module: fileRealm

Please notice that the authentication worked, but the PRINCIPAL TABLE is null!!!! If I run the basic authentication sample, i can see from the log the PRINCIPAL TABLE is (...staff=[staffmember], j2ee=[staffmember],.....)
so somehow the app server treats the two sample differently with the same user id (j2ee/password)
any comments?

Mutual authentication for Web services in BPEL

Hi Guys,
We have to call a few web services in bpel and our partners would want us to mutually authenticate the data that is exchanged.
So that mean they provide us with a certificate file and we provide them with a certificate file.
We have been using client certificates in our cacerts file and encrypting the request we send using that but we are not too sure how to set up a key in bpel so that we can decrypt the responses of the webservices.
Does anybody have any idea how to do it. It would be a great help.
Cheers
Sandeep

I would suggets to read the online tutorial:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/bpel/index.html
and try one of the tutorials:

BASIC authentication and web client problems

I have a very simple web service that is working. Now before attempting to use
SSL, I want to test authenticating using BASIC authentication. I’ve made the
changes to web.xml and even though the other web service pages authenticate ok
(ex. http://localhost:7001/fileexchange/FileExchangeFacade), I am prompted again
for authentication for web service itself. I can never authenticate to http://localhost:7001/fileexchange/FileExchangeFacade?operation.view=helloWorld.
Has anyone completed this and if so, how does it work? I must have missed something
simple.
First, I setup the security constraint as follows:
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>file-exchange-resources</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<role-name>Administrators</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<login-config>
<auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
<realm-name>myrealm</realm-name>
</login-config>
<security-role>
<description>An administrators</description>
<role-name>Administrators</role-name>
</security-role>
That allows me to secure / authenticate to the JSPs in the web service test app
provided. Then I tried working with the admin server console to setup roles /
privileges. I couldn’t get this to work but I easily could have done something
wrong since there are no step by step examples other than the general docs in
the programming guide.
Next, since the web service deploys as a web application, I figured the problem
must be that the internal WLS servlet needs security information defined in web.xml.
I saw the programming guide listed the servlet name and discussed servlet mapping
so I added the normal security entries for a servlet as follows and re-jarred
the WAR and EAR.
<servlet>
<servlet-name>WebServiceServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>
weblogic.webservice.server.servlet.WebServiceServlet
</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>WebServiceServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/FileExchangeFacade/*</url-pattern>
<security-role-ref>
<role-name>Administrators</role-name>
<role-link>Administrators</role-link>
</security-role-ref>
</servlet-mapping>
It still doesn’t work. Any idea on how to get it to authenticate?
Thanks,
Dave

Ok, this looks like an issue with the test page.
When the test page gets a request to invoke a
web service, it creates a client proxy and call invoke
on the proxy. This will case the client proxy to
create a new HTTP post connection to the server.
Test page pulls out the username/passwd from the
GET request from the browser and pass it to the
POST request it makes to the web service. I think,
the test page needs to do the same for realm. I will
file a CR for this (CR105320).
Please contact support with the case number if you
need a patch for this.

One more thing.
I took out explicit realm mapping and noticed that the firstauthentication
challenge was for the WebLogic standard realm which was fine and
authentication was successful. (i.e. I got to the web service "homepage").
Actually I meant it was listed as "Weblogic Server" in the 1st challenge.
When I stepped into the web service method and pressed the Invoke buttonon
the web service methods the realm was "default" and authenticationfailed.
Why does the domain change and how do I cover this?Is was actually listed as "Default".
However this is the same domain I believe because I've done a further
experiment and set the domains explicitely
in the deployment WAR deployment (Other tab) and in the web.xml file. The
second challange is then asking for re-authentication in the correctdomain
(myrealm) but it does not accept the valid user/password and just re
challenges until 3 attempts then it displays the SOAP message and theserver
log file has the following exception:

Authenticating the web service

Hi
i am using a web service but not able there i have hard coded the username and password to access the web service i don't want that i want user should enter the user name and password used in UME authentication or it should call separate HTTP Authentication but i am not able to do that so please guide me in this regards
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Run through the following links to know about authentication for web service:

How set UserName and Password for HTTP Basic Authentication for a servlet

Hi..
How set UserName and Password for HTTP Basic Authentication for a servlet in JBoss server?
Using Tomcat i can do it .(By setting roles in web.xml, and user credintails in tomcat-user.xml).
But i dont know how do it in JBOSS..
I am using Netbeans and Eclipse IDEs.. Can we do it by using them also!?
Thank u

Hi Raj,
You can do this by creating a Login screen for the users and check the authentication of each user in PAI i.e. PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
Store the user information in a database table and check the username and password when the user enters it.
You can display password as *** also. For this double click on input box designed for password and goto Display tab. Select Invisible in the list and check it.
CASE sy-ucomm.
    WHEN 'BACK'.
      LEAVE PROGRAM.
    WHEN <fcode for submit>.
      SELECT SINGLE uname pwd
       FROM <DB table>
       INTO (user, pass)
       WHERE username = user AND
               password = passwd.
      IF sy-subrc = 0.
<Go to next screen for further processing>
      ELSE.
<Display Error message and exit>
      ENDIF.
ENDCASE.

Amit

How to set up and test the Basic Authentication for HTTP protocol

Hi,
I tried configuring the password based Basic Authentication for sending xml document using ebMS - HTTP protocol. I set username and password while configuring the transport server for both trading partners. I want to know, is that sufficient for basic authenticaton. When I open the URI http://localhost:7778/b2b/transportServlet, it is not asking any authentication (username/password). Please note that I have not used SSL certificate. Anyone please help me out to configure Basic authentication.

Hi Ramesh,
Thanks for ur response. Could you please tell me where to set the Additional Transport header : authtype-basic#realm=myRealm(in which property file). In enqueue code, I could see the following attributes
queue
msgID
replyToMsgID
from
to
eventName
doctypeName
doctypeRevision
msgType
payload
attachment
subscriber
Is it possible to set username/password in the enqueue attributes?
Do i need to add username/password and Transport header in the input XML and defined that elements in xsd?

PS - Here's the info from the documentation
Web Services Description Language (WSDL) 1.1 Specification
WSDL is an XML-based language that describes Web services. WSDL definesWeb services
as a set of endpoints operating on messages; these message containeither
message-style
or RPC-style information. The operations and messages are describedabstractly
in WSDL, and then bound to a concrete network protocol and messageformat
to define
an endpoint. Related concrete endpoints are combined into abstractendpoints (services).
WSDL is extensible to allow the description of endpoints and theirassociated
messages regardless of what message formats or network protocols areused
to communicate,
however, the only bindings described in the specification describehow to
use
WSDL in conjunction with SOAP 1.1, HTTP GET/POST, and MIME.
Note: WebLogic Server supports only SOAP 1.1 bindings.
The WSDL 1.1 Specification is available at http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl.

This isn't a straight FORM Post as in the http binding support in WSDL. It posts
a soap message.
It's apparent that Workshop supports form-post and form-get.
But I dont see how it is done with straight WebLogic webservices. Does WebLogic
server read the web-services.xml or the WSDL file? I dont see a way to put in
http-post binding in the former and in the latter it seems to be ignored.
Can someone clarify.
Thanks.

to provide this feature? (e.g. is it architecturally unsound in
any
way?
or is
there an easy way to simulate it?). Given some of the Web Workshoppositioning
re: ease of use and .NET comparison, this seems like an omission.
Any insights are greatly appreciated.
Enjoy,

PS - Here's the info from the documentation
Web Services Description Language (WSDL) 1.1 Specification
WSDL is an XML-based language that describes Web services. WSDL
defines
Web services
as a set of endpoints operating on messages; these message containeither
message-style
or RPC-style information. The operations and messages are describedabstractly
in WSDL, and then bound to a concrete network protocol and messageformat
to define
an endpoint. Related concrete endpoints are combined into abstractendpoints (services).
WSDL is extensible to allow the description of endpoints and theirassociated
messages regardless of what message formats or network protocols
are
used
to communicate,
however, the only bindings described in the specification describehow to
use
WSDL in conjunction with SOAP 1.1, HTTP GET/POST, and MIME.
Note: WebLogic Server supports only SOAP 1.1 bindings.
The WSDL 1.1 Specification is available at http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl.
