HTTP Web Service in SP Designer 2013 Workflow calling WCF Service - 401 403 Error

Because of the limitations of SP Designer URL's I've had to create a custom webservice to Publish, Checkin, Approve etc.... I pass the List ID and a comment as parms in the HTTP POST. The WCF lives in the /15 ISAPI directory as it should.
I setup 3 dictionaries:
POST_RequestHeader
content-type: application/json;odata=verbose, accept:application/json;odata=verbose, X-HTTP-Method: MERGE, IF-MATCH:*,Authorization:
If I don't include Authorization as null, I get a 401. With this I get a 403.
POST_Metadata
type string "name of my SP.Data category from tyhe list"
POST_Parameters
__metadata with the name of POST_Metadata
Call the webservice in SP DESIGNER 2013
Http://Mysitecollection/_vti_bin/MyWCFService/MyWCFService.svc/MyPublish/?id=123&comment='BasicTest2'
RequestHeaders set to POST_RequestHeader
RequestContent set to POST_Parameters
The Interface correctly maps and routes me to the method. The document is in Draft state ready for "Publish a Major version".
I cannot get past the security errors. My GET methods work fine. Any thoughts? How can I pass the proper credentials?
I'm running in an App Step and have granted workflows elevated privileges so no problem there.
Thanks.
                using (SPSite siteCollection = new SPSite("myservercollectionurl"))
                    using (SPWeb web = siteCollection.OpenWeb())
                        SPWeb site = siteCollection.RootWeb;
                        SPList corpPol = site.Lists["Our Policies"];
                        SPListItem spListItem = corpPol.GetItemById(id);
                        SPFile file = spListItem.File;
                        trace = "In SPsite Loop" + spListItem["Title"].ToString();

Issue in accessing Client Web Service 401 authentication error

Hi,
I have a requirement where i need to call a web service from SOA composite. When i deploy the service on SOA Server and try accessing it i get below error
**oracle.fabric.common.FabricException: Cannot read WSDL "{http://www.service-now.com}ServiceNow_u_incident" from Metadata Manager.: Error in getting XML input stream: https://XXXXXXX.service-now.com/incident.do?WSDL: Response: '401: Unauthorized' for url: 'https://XXXXXXXX.service-now.com/incicdent.do?WSDL'**
If i go from broweser and hit the url it asks for my ldap / windows credential.
My question is how to i pass these credentials from Composite.
sample service
https://demo.service-now.com/incident.do?WSDL
Shirish

To pass HTTP Basic Auth from an External Reference in a composite_
Set up in the EM
1. Create the credentials in the EM
- In the EM Weblogic Domain > right click the domain name
- Choose Security > Credentials
2. Create an oracle.wsm.security map
This is where the http token details are held
- If the oracle.wsm.security does not exist create one (Create Map)
- call it oracle.wsm.security
3. Create the Key
- Click create Key
- Enter the following values
     Select Map -> oracle.wsm.security
     Key -> Key name
     Type -> Password
     Username -> << basic auth username required >>
     Password -> << basic auth password required >>
     Description -> Clear text description
Note : Make the key name specific to the service you are accessing i.e. basic.credentials.sitea.demo
Secure the Reference Partner Link
In JDeveloper
     Open the composite that needs securing
     Right click on the external reference
     Select Configure WS Policies
     For Security, click the + button
     Select the oracle/wss_http_token_client_policy entry
     Select this and click the pencil button to edit the Override Value.
     In the override value column (csf-key), enter the credential key name you wish to use. i.e. basic.credentials.sitea.demo
Deploy the service, and this will now be secured against the Basic Auth.
This does not address SSO / Windows AD integration from the client, this is where a Web Service is protected by basic auth. If you need to integrate with AD as SSO etc then you will need to configure Kerberos. That is a much bigger explaination that you will probably find on the Net.
Good luck

Although if i switch off proxy server everything works perfect (both HTTP and HTTPS web-services).
What could be the problem with?

Hi Kenneth,
At the moment, SALT does not support the configuring of an outbound proxy server. I suspect you could use a transparent proxy server, i.e., a proxy server/router combination that proxies outgoing requests, although this isn't something we have tested. My suggestion would be to open a support case and ask for this enhancement. I think it is a reasonable thing for SALT to support.

Calling (HTTPS web service) in sharepoint 2013 workflow (SPD)

I am using SharePoint 2013. I have created a list workflow in SharePoint Designer. I know there is an action "Call HTTP Web Service". Is it possible to access some webservice with authentication (username and password)?

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn567558%28v=office.15%29.aspx
the OData formats support communication with anonymous web services as well as with those protected by various types of authentication. In short, you have full control over the request and response for each service call. This allows you to use a series of
activities within a workflow to first authenticate using one service and obtain an OAuth token, and then include that token in future requests to services secured using the
OAuth 2.0 protocol.

Call HTTP web service action not allowing HTTPS in SharePoint Designer 2013.

HTTP works perfectly in browser and in workflow.
HTTPS works perfectly in browser and hangs in workflow.
Others having this issue have been advised to use OAuth2. OAuth2 is not an option without HTTPS, you're passing authorization tokens around in plaintext. This is not an acceptable solution.
Please advise.

It says HTTPS web services will have an Issue with the SharePoint Designer.

How to Loop through another list and update a column with SharePoint Designer 2013 Workflow

Hi,
I am trying to get my head around the new 2013 Workflow Engine and SharePoint Designer 2013 Workflow Text-Based Designer.
I have two lists.
List A has 2 columns: Title, Completed (Yes/No)
List B has 3 columns: Title, LookupListATitle, Completed (Yes/No)
All the 2013 Workflow components have been installed and configured and I am selecting the 2013 Workflow option in SPD
I am trying to set off a 2013 Workflow when an item in List A is edited to Loop through List B and select items where the LookupListATitle column's value is equal to the Title value of the current item, and set the value of the Completed column for those
items in ListB to "Yes".
I have the Workflow configured like this:
Stage: Stage 1
IF Current Item:Completed equals Yes
Loop: 1
The contents of this loop will run repeatedly while: ListB:LookupListATitle equals Current Item: Title
Update item in ListB.
(The dialog options for the update item action as follows:
List: ListB
Field: Completed, Value: Yes
In the Find the List Item section
Field: LookupListATitle
Value: Current Item: Title)
Transition to stage
Go to End of Workflow
When I update an item in ListA and set its Completed column to Yes, I would expect the Workflow to find all the items in List B where the Lookup column is equal to ListA's Title (there are 2) and update their Completed column to Yes. But it doesn't work.
When I look at the Workflow Status it says the Internal Status is "Canceled" and the information pop up has the following alien language (and may be truncated):
RequestorId: 95f03b62-8956-ac14-c5cf-dc98c89c589c. Details: System.ArgumentException: Invalid JSON primitive: Item001. Parameter name: value at Microsoft.Workflow.Common.Json.JXmlToJsonValueConverter.ConvertStringToJsonNumber(String value) at Microsoft.Workflow.Common.Json.JXmlToJsonValueConverter.ReadPrimitive(String
type, XmlDictionaryReader jsonReader) at Microsoft.Workflow.Common.Json.JXmlToJsonValueConverter.JXMLToJsonValue(XmlDictionaryReader jsonReader) at Microsoft.Workflow.Common.Json.JXmlToJsonValueConverter.JXMLToJsonValue(Stream jsonStream, Byte[] jsonBytes)
at Microsoft.Activities.DynamicValue.ParseJson(String json) at System.Activities.CodeActivity`1.InternalExecute(ActivityInstance instance, ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager) at System.Activities.Runtime.ActivityExecutor.ExecuteActivityWorkItem.ExecuteBody(ActivityExecutor
executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager, Location resultLocation)
Unfortunately I don't have access to the server, logs etc.
I would love to find some tutorials, or any books on SharePoint Designer 2013 in general and Workflows in particular but my searches haven't turned up much so far apart from a pre-release Beginning SharePoint Workflows which is in its very early stages and
not much help yet.
Can anyone give me some guidance on how to set up While Loops to iterate through a related list using SharePoint Designer 2013?
Mark

Hi,
I understand that you wanted to update the items in the other list (Participants) where the Course equals the Current Item.
You need to use “Call HTTP Web Service" action and “Build Dictionary" action to get the Maxid and then loop Participants to update the items.
You can follow the steps as below to achieve what you want:
Create a custom list named Courses, add columns: Title(Single line of text), Course ID(Single line of text), Course Finalised (Yes/No).
Create a custom list named Participants, add columns: Title(Single line of text), Course(Lookup), CourseFinalised (Yes/No).
Create workflow associated to Courses, start the workflow automatically when an item is created or changed.
Add conditions and actions:
The HTTP URL is set to
https://sitename/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('listname')/items?$orderby=Id%20desc and the HTTP method is set to “GET”. Then the list will be order by Id and desc.
Then if Course Finalised is equal to Yes, the CourseFinalised of the associated items in Participants will be updated to Yes.

User Profiles option missing from SharePoint Designer 2013 workflows

I noticed the User Profiles is missing as a Data Source option in the SharePoint Designer 2013 workflow platform (see image); whereas, it exists in the SharePoint 2010 workflow platform. Is there a way to connect this feature in SharePoint 2013 workflows
by registering it or configuring through Workflow Manager? If not, what is the new approach in SP 2013 to call User Profiles services?

Hi,
Based on your description, you want to use user profile in SharePoint 2013 workflow.
In SharePoint 2013 workflow user profiles is missing, if you have to use the user profile, you can create a SharePoint 2010 workflow, and use Start a List workflow action in 2013 workflow to start the 2010 workflow.
The article below is about How to start a SharePoint 2010 Workflow within a SharePoint 2013 Workflow Using SharePoint Designer 2013
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/anavijai/how-to-start-a-sharepoint-2010-workflow-within-a-sharepoint/
And in SharePoint 2013 there is an approach to user profile, you can add the action call http web service to get the information of user profile.
The article below is about how to use call http web service in SharePoint 2013 workflow.

Hi there,
1. Can we migrate SharePoint Designer 2013 workflows from DEV to UAT to Live without any issues? Any bad experiences?
2. When we deploy these workflows - does IIS need a restart?
Thank you.

That depends, did you create reusable workflows? Those can be deployed to another environment (of course depending on dependencies within the workflow itself)

Call HTTP Web Service Retries Every 1 Minute

I currently have a SharePoint 2013 workflow setup. This workflow calls an HTTP Web Service using the HTTP Get Method. The web service takes over a minute to execute what it needs to and respond. The workflow retries calling the web service every 1 minute
if it doesn't get a response back. This is causing issues as the process is already running and doesn't need to be run again. Is there some setting or response/request header value that I can set to prevent the workflow from retrying the web service call every
minute?
Thank You,
Jon

Hi,
As per your posting, I believe there is no direct approach in the workflow to check the web service status for every call.
Let me try to work on that and try to give you the appropriate solution.

How to call HTTP web services in an Interactive Form?

Hi all,
I am using Adobe Livecycle Designer currently in a trial 8.2 version.
I need to invoke an HTTP Web Service (non-SOAP) in an Adobe Interactive Form. The Net.HTTP method does not work due to security reasons. The error message I get is:
(german)
" NotAllowedError: Sicherheitseinstellungen verhindern den Zugriff auf diese Eigenschaft oder Methode.
Net.HTTP.request:28:XFA:form1[0]:mysubform[0]:Region[0]:change"
In english this translates to: "Security settings prohibit the call of this property or method.
And indeed the "Javascript for Acrobat API reference" includes the following note:
"Note:This method can only be made outside the context of a document (for example, in a folder level JavaScript)."
So this method seems to be excluded from use in an Adobe document, e. g. in an interactive form. But why is it then listed at all? Is there a way to call HTTP Web Services in an Adobe Interactive Form by somehow branching out the call outside the document itself? Of course I do not want to call a SOAP service which then calls the HTTP Web Service ;-)
Is there any other way to invoke HTTP Web Services in an Adobe Interactive Form?
Thanks a lot for your response!
Regards
Christoph

Hello Kavita,
patterns are not processed during editing. If you can't use the default behavior of the numeric field when a character is entered (handled when the user finished editing), you could use scripting to process input. Depending on what you want to do you could use the exit event or the change event.
A change event has a property called "change" that caused the event. You could try "xfa.host.messageBox( upper(event.change) )" in FormCalc to show the characters in upper case.
But, you should go this way only if the patterns for editing and for display and validation scripts can't be used in your case.

How to invoke HTTP Web Services in an Adobe Interactive Form

Hi,
back again, had to handle other issues, sorry.
Just to get a little more concrete. The condition depends on the context node attributes. So if an attribute is initial, it's field should not been shown, if it's not initial, it should ne shown. There are 6 context attributes and therefore 6 fields in the form. How can I get the attributes' value?
And can I put them into the same subform or do I have to create 7 (6 conditions + blank-condition) subforms?
I put the fields (textfield and context node value) that should be shown depending on conditions in a subform. So how can I adress this subform?
I'm not so familiar with JavaScript, so please help me. I need something like:
if (context_node_attribute X is initial) {
subform_1.presence = "hidden" ;
I tried it with
if ( ARB_STUNDEN.rawValue != null) {
Beratungsstunden.presence = "hidden" ;
but it didn't work....
Thanks,
Tan

How to edit sharepoint designer 2013 workflow xaml
I was able to edit it by exporting wsp and cab and modified xaml but how to again create wsp of this modifed cab.
I took reference of

Hi Amit,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to re-create a .wsp file after modifying workflow xaml file from the cab file.
To achieve it, you need to install a zip software utility that supports cab files, like IZArc. Then re-create a .cab file using the tool and change it to .wsp file.
More information, please refer to the link:

I hope this helps.

I'm assuming you made your site as internet site (public facing).
In that case you might site desired output. If not you can think of replacing text
