HTTPS config in SOAP receiver adapter ?

Question

Hi Guys,
I have configured the soap receiver adapter with the URL
*https://xxxx.abcd.com/xyzv/bbbb.asmx with the user  authentication *
I have tested the url and the user and pw in the browser and they are working fine but the messages are failing the soap receiver adapter with the 401 unautorized error as the message from the Audit log in the RWB.
Delivery of the message to the application using connection SOAP_http://sap.com/xi/XI/System failed, due to: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: invalid content type for SOAP: TEXT/HTML; HTTP 401 Unauthorized: java.io.IOException: invalid content type for SOAP: TEXT/HTML; HTTP 401 Unauthorized. Setting message to status failed.
Do i need to configure the Java Stack for HTTPS ? The communicaion is between the XI system and a third part system internally.
any help would be appreciated ?
Thanks,
Srini

Hi Guys,
I have solved the problem and NTLM works with PI 7.0 but we need to configure soap axis adapter
The Windows NTLM authentication is supported by Axis's CommonsHTTPSender handler and consequently it is supported by the Axis adapter's corresponding handler com.sap.aii.adapter.axis.ra.transport.http.CommonsHTTPSender. Read about How Can I use CommonsHTTPSender as the transport handler? if CommonsHTTPSender is not enabled on your system. Once it is enabled, you can use com.sap.aii.adapter.axis.ra.transport.http.CommonsHTTPSender instead of default com.sap.aii.adapter.axis.ra.transport.http.HTTPSender as the transport handler in the module configuration and set the authentication setting to NTLM and enter usename as domain\username in the channel configuration
To use CommonsHTTPHandler, the optional Jakarta-Commons-Net, Jakarta-Commons-HttpClient, Jakarta-Commons-Codec libraries are required. Make sure that these libraries are available for the Axis adapter at the deployment check page  If these components are not available, you will need to include the corresponding jar files (commons-codec-1.3.jar, commons-httpclient-3.0.jar, and commons-net-1.0.0-dev.jar from the Axis 1.4 release) in aii_af_axisprovider.sda and deploy this archive (see How to prepare aii_af_axisprovider.sda?).
The provider.xml file must include the jar-name entries for these jar files, as shown in:
    <jars>
       <jar-name>commons-net-1.0.0-dev.jar</jar-name>
       <jar-name>commons-codec-1.3.jar</jar-name>
       <jar-name>commons-httpclient-3.0.jar</jar-name>
    </jars>
Once you do all the above settings, NTLM works fine
