JAX-WS web service client and Windows integrated Security authentication

Question

I am currently developing a JAX-WS web service client running on WebLogic 10.3.2.0. The client is connecting to exchange web service running on IIS.
Everything works well when EWS is configured with Http basic authentication.
The problems started when I changed the autentication method on EWS from Http basic authentication to Windows integrated Security authentication.
The client is then unable to authenticate to the web service. Every request made to EWS returns with the message : Invalid HTTP server response [401] - Unauthorized.
I tried using an authenticator like this one:
static class RetrieveWSDLAuthenticator extends Authenticator
private String username, password;
public RetrieveWSDLAuthenticator(String user, String pass)
username = user;
password = pass;
@Override
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication()
return new PasswordAuthentication(username, password.toCharArray());
and setting it as the default authenticator :
Authenticator.setDefault(new MyAuthenticator("username", "password"));
but the method getPasswordAuthentication() was not even called.
Is there a way to make a JAX-WS client works with Windows integrated Security ?

Answer 1

WIS is not suppported on WLS JAX-WS. You'll need to use other authentication mechanisms such as http basic (which you tried already), or message-level security such as UNT, or SAML.
