SOAP Web Service Authentication configuration

Hello,
I've got a little problem with Web Service authentication configuration.
I'm working on the SAP NetWeaver CE EHP1 7.11. I also have a XMII application deployed on the server and there are some SOAP Web Services(over XMII Transactions) that require basic authentication.
I use all Web Services in the EJB layer. So, I've generated proxy using SAP NetWeaver as a Web Service Runtime for generation. And Iuse an injection mechanism to get a service implementation:
@WebServiceRef(name="GetBatchListService")
private XacuteWS batchListWS;
In this case I could use Single Service Administration application in the NetWeaver Administrator@SOA Management@Application and Scenario Communication to configure basic authentication for EVERY Web Service. And this configuration disappears after every redeploy.
The question is how and where could I configure authentication for all web services?
I've read a lot of documentation, but, unfortunately, I haven't found needed one. I could see 2 direction of searching now, it might help:
1) Destination: Configure HTTP Destination or Web Service Template Destination and use it in all Web Services proxies somehow.
2) Find Configuration way: Create a configuration group or anything else to configure all services from one screen.
Best Regards,
Dmitry

Dimtris,
If your WSDL url is pointing to the URL of the Adapter Engine as shownin the Hot to Use the SOAP adapter there is no option. You cannot add it to the SOAP Url.
But, if you change the SOAP Url to the Url shown in this blog by Stefan Grube then you can add the user id and pasword to the url by adding sap- user=userid and sap-password = password.
The optin shown ion the blog by Grube can be used as long as you do not have to use SOAP attachments and in this case you would not need both sender SOAP adapter and a sender agreement.

How to send authentication information to SOAP Web Service using MATE framework

Hi,
Can anyone please tell me how to pass authentication info (such as user name & password) while calling a webservice using MATE's webserviceinvoker? the SOAP web service expects authentication info in the header.
Thanks in advance..

HI Swayam,
First of all you should tell us what blogs you have seen to avoid you to repeat information that you already know.
we want to avoid setting up SLD configuration for sender system because sender system is just consuming web service .
This is not necessary,
Please let me know the ways we can configure . I did understand we can publish and register the WSDL from Service interface ,but was not clear on over all scenario .
Do you have your ECC webservice available via SOAManager?, you only to access it via soap receiver in SAP PI.
To publish, you need to publish only the sender SOAP, when you register there the sender soap your partner could access there to get the WSDL (Publish services from PI 7.1 to the Service Registry). Also you can generate directly the wsdl (Display WSDL - Integration Directory - SAP Library), what do you want?

SOAP Web Service + Custom Login Module issue

Hi Guys,
We faced an authentication issue in our project. Could you please give any advice how the issue could be resolved.
Environment: A simple SOAP Web Service on top of POJO class created in a Web Application. The web application deployed to the SAP NetWeaver 7.10 Application Server in the Enterprise Application Archive.
Configuration:
      Single Service Administration Application(NetWeaver Administration -> SOA Management -> Application and Scenario Communication -> Single Service Administration)
       The web service endpoint has authentication configured to use User ID/Password HTTP Authentication.
    Authentication Application(NetWeaver Administration-> Configuration Management->Security->Authentication)
      The application(<vendorName>/<earName>*<vendor>~<webAppName>) has Authentication Stack configured to use our custom login module.
Issue: BasicPasswordLoginModule used by the J2EE when we are trying to execute the web service using Web Service Navigator(checked in debug mode). It seems that we missed something in configuration.
Idea: The main Idea is to use our custom login module when we are executing a web service.
Could you help me to resolve the issue.
Thanks,
Dmitry

That's the point.

BODS SOAP Web Service Connection error RUN-248005

Hi Experts,
I need help connecting SOAP web service to BODS. We have configured the initial set up by importing the functions from the WSDL that was provided to us. The WSDL provided us with a request and reply schema as follows:
We then created the data service job that would consume the function call. An overview of the dataflow is as follows:
When we run the job with null values for the source table the job returns no errors, but returns no data either into the destination table (Which we think is to be expected because we have no parameters to search on). If we add a value to the source table that is a required field for WSDL GET function (sys_ID) the job runs, but produces the error shown below:
We configured the data flow by using a reference document that can be found at this link: http://www.dwbiconcepts.com/etl/23-etl-bods/158-web-service-call-in-sap-data-services.html.
Any help in regards to why we are getting a “No response to web service error” would be much appreciated! Also, if further detail is needed please feel free to ask.

Yes we did make progress. Follow the steps listed below.
Pre-Configuration
A WSDL for BODS can be provided from your vendor (Amazon or Twitter) or created in-house. In my tutorial I will be using ServiceNow. ServiceNow is a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) provider of IT service management (ITSM) software.
The WSDL provided should look like this:
           https://<instance>.service-now.com/incident.do?WSDL
To verify that the WSDL works you can open it in a browser to see the xml schema. Since the WSDL is HTTPS the browser will prompt you to enter credentials in order to view it. The username and password will need to be provided to you from vendor you are trying to connect to.
BODS requires that any web service connection that is https to have a certificate saved to its internal configuration on the job server where the application resides. The certificate is referenced when the call goes out to verify authentication.
You can get the server certificate from the vendor who is providing the web service or you can also download the certificate from the browser and save it in base64 binary encoded format to a file and use that. In my example I will be using Firefox to export.
if you have fire fox, then on the left side before the URL Address bar there will be a lock icon, click on view certificate, select the details tab, select the *.service- now.com and click on export, in the dialog box, select the Save as type X.509 Certificate (PEM), you can save this with any name on your machine.
Now go to the JobServer machine, go to %LINK_DIR%\ext\ folder, open axis2.xml in notepad,
since it's https uncomment the following tag (transportReceiver)

it should look line something below
<transportReceiver name="https" class="axis2_http_receiver">
<parameter name="port" locked="false">6060</parameter>
<parameter name="exposeHeaders" locked="true">false</parameter>
</transportReceiver>
uncomment the following tag (transportSender) and comment out the parameter KEY_FILE and SSL_PASSPHRASE, enter the complete location of the certificate that you saved from the browser in the SERVER_CERT parameter. you can save the certificate also in this folder

this should look like
<transportSender name="https" class="axis2_http_sender">
<parameter name="PROTOCOL" locked="false">HTTP/1.1</parameter>
<parameter name="xml-declaration" insert="false"/>
</transportSender>
<parameter name="SERVER_CERT">enter the certificate path</parameter>


save this file and open this file is browser to make sure that the XML is valid

Timeout when consuming a SOAP web service

Hello,
I'm quite new to Labview and I'm trying to consume a SOAP web service created using a very simple WCF example, but I keep on getting a WebException because of a timeout.
The web service has been created using the example from the WCF getting started tutotial (to keep things simple) http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms734712.aspx
You'll find my .Net solution attached to this message. (You'll have to be administrator to run the service though).
I have used the import web service tool in Labview to create the VI to connect to the web service and all went fine, it created the VI correctly. You'll find the created VI also attached to this message.
Then, I'm trying to create a very simple VI to call the webservice and put the return value inside a numeric indicator. Unfortunately, when I run this VI it crashes with a WebException because of a timeout.
If I run the .Net client, everything goes fine, and if I go to the web service address with a browser, I get the service website, so I know that the server is registered correctly, only Labview can't connect to it for an unknown reason. Everything is setup to connect through localhost:8000, so it can't really be a network problem, I've tried disabling the Windows firewall to see if that was the problem, but it persists.
I've also tried to do something similar using the CDYNE web service, like in the example http://www.ni.com/white-paper/4728/en/, and it works perfectly.
Does anybody have an idea about what could be the issue?
Regards.

OK, I found the problem myself, it was a problem with the configuration of the WCF service, I was missing the ServiceMetadata endpoint.
For reference, if somebody stumbles upon the same issue as I had, here's a service configuration that works with Labview (using .Net >=4.0)
  <system.serviceModel>
    <behaviors>
      <serviceBehaviors>
        <behavior name="">
          <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
          <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
        </behavior>
      </serviceBehaviors>
    </behaviors>
    <protocolMapping>
      <add scheme="http" binding="basicHttpBinding" />
    </protocolMapping>
  </system.serviceModel>
And here's how to create and run the service host.
using (ServiceHost selfHost = new ServiceHost(typeof(Calculator), new Uri("http://localhost:8000/Calculator")))
                try
                    selfHost.Open();
                    Console.ReadLine();
                    selfHost.Close();
                catch (CommunicationException e)
                    selfHost.Abort();
                    throw;

Username and password validation on SOAP Web Service

Hi,
I'm pretty new to web services and c# .net framework.
I'm developing an app that uses a third party's API/ Web services. My first task is getting this log in(authentication) to working.
Right now its nothing more than a simple Login form:
The code behind the "Log In" button is so far:
Here I've instantiated the SOAP web service that I'm using. And when I got to test/debug my form and type in my username and password and click the "Log In" button nothing happens..."of course"
So my question is, how could I validate whether the username and password were sent to the web service and whether the authentication is true or false?

I'm trying to figure that part out...of how I can get it to return the bool. How can I check to see if it returns a bool?(because i'm not really sure if it does or doesn't just yet)
I'm not expecting it to say "Hey you're logged in" because the actual application doesnt work that way. The actual desktop client will log you in with a (Domain Name\ Username) and windows authenticate
that you're who you say you are, check the SQL Server and Database and Logs you in.
So im trying to figure out how I can manually set it up to where it let the user know that they have Logged in successfully.
And you're saying that the code i have right now SHOULD log the users in correctly?

Problem in stubbing out Soap Web Service

Hi,
I have a problem stubbing out a SOAP web service in Flash Builder 4. The problem is that not all the classes are created. This happens when a base class is referenced by a method in the schema. The classes that extends the base class do not get created.
Here is an example: method doSomething returns a class called ResponseBase. Even though MyResponse, which extends ResponseBase, is in a xsd which is referenced by the WSDL, MyResponse class is not created as value objects.
Another example is: method doSomething takes a parameter called ParamClass. ParamClass contains a property of type SomeClassBase. MyClass which extends SomeClassBase is not created even though it is defined in an xsd.
Does that sound like a limitation of the Flash Builder 4? Is there another way to create the proxy classes from a web service?
Thanks,
Ming

Sekar,
I have the same problem.
How did you change your web service as Anonymous?
I have a user id and pwd, i tried by appending end of the service and tried with basic authentication by passing uid and pwd. No luck.
Can you please help me how to change web service as anonymous?

X.509 Web Service Authentication for ABAP AS Web Service Interaction

We are trying to use X.509 web service authentication with SAP Web AS ABAP between 2 different SAP installations. Company 1 is trying to consume a web service set up by Company 2.
Company 1 has installed Company 2's public key, generated the client proxy using Company 2's WSDL and created a corresponding lpconfig entry.
Then company 2 has set up the profile parameter ICM/HTTPS/verify_client to accept certificates and imported Company 1's SLL client certificate and mapped the user in USREXTID. Note that Company 1 uses self-signed certificates, so it does not have a root certificate, which is what the documentation says should be imported into the PSE instead of the SSL client certificate.
When Company 1 tries the web service call, it receives a request to authenticate the web service from Company 2. (basic authentication logon screen, even though the web service configuration is set to X.509 Client Certificate.
Should this work or is there a problem because Company 1 uses self-signed certificates or is there something else we are missing?

I think that the problem is in Service Authentication (in transaction sicf). You have to consume web-service, transmitting user-password for access.

Is crossdomain.xml Needed for SOAP Web Services?

A Flash developer who is attempting to use Flash to access a
SOAP web service provided on one of our servers says we need to add
a crossdomain.xml file to our server listing their domain as an
acceptable source. The SOAP service simply accepts some data and
returns a status. It doesn't make sense to me that we would need to
provide a crossdomain.xml file. If we did, all web services all
over the Internet would have to do the same to allow Flash to call
them.
If I am correct and the file is not necessary, then what else
in FlashPlayer might be blocking their attempts to access our
server? I don't know much about Flash, but I do know some sort of
security configuration files are necessary to allow SWF files to
access the Internet. Could this be what they are missing?

Yes, you need a crossdomain.xml file in place. When I do SOAP
calls to
a service not under my control I just write a proxy for it,
then I don't
need to have anyone add the crossdomain policy file.

Questions on using a SOAP web service's data in a Crystal Reports report

I'm attempting to create a report using CR 2008, accessing data from a SOAP web service. I've run into a few problems, and need some advice.
1) CR doesn't seem to support WSDL files that use relative URI imports (for example, I have a relatively complicated WSDL file that imports other WSDL files and schemas using relative URI locations). To solve this problem, I have downloaded all of the files to my local hard drive, and changed the "location" attributes to point to local files. Is there any other solution to this problem?
2) CR doesn't seem to support circular references within schema files. To solve this problem, I have removed circular references from my local schema files. Of course, my actual web service will still potentially return data structures with these circular dependencies. Is there any other solution to this problem?
3) CR doesn't seem to support request documents that allow for arrays of elements. For example, my schema allows the user to specify an array of Instruments that should be returned by the web service. In the meantime, I have changed the schema to only specify single instances of the Instrument element in the request. Is there any other solution to this problem?
4) CR doesn't seem to support empty values for optional attributes that are specified in the schema. So, when the "Enter Values" parameter form appears, I am required to enter values for these attributes, even though they are listed as optional in the schema. To avoid this problem, I have commented out the optional attribute values in the schema. Is there any other solution to this problem?
5) When the schema specifies that a value is based on a restricted simple (string) type, the CR parameter form shows a drop list with ellipses (...), but the drop list does not contain the enumerated types specified in my schema. Instead, I must manually enter a value. Do you know of any reason why the drop list is not populated?
6) The SOAP response document from my web service is relatively complicated. So, in the "Data" page of the Standard Report Creation Wizard, each and every XML element level of the response document listed in the schema is shown as a separate entry. If I choose just the top level element ("fetchInstrumentSetResponse"), then very little data is shown on the next page of the wizard (only the ID attribute). But, if I select each and every element type from the response document, CR prompts me for the request document parameters for each row I have selected (I see the same form 30+ times), even though there really should only be a single SOAP request to the web service to return this response document. It seems to be treating each of these elements as a separate "database table", with a different query string for each. Am I using this feature incorrectly?
If you can point me to somewhere in the documentation that handles this in more detail, that would be great (all I could find were the step-by-step instructions on how to connect to a web service as a data source).
Thanks!

How to expose a SOAP web service from HCP

Hello All,
Currently I am trying to create a SOAP web service within a HCP Java application to allow backend systems to consume data stored in HCP.
This is the planned scenario:
1. Create data in HCP - therefor I am using JPA and a oData Model.
2. Backend uses web service to consume data from HCP - with this point I do have some problems.. I do want to create a SOAP web service in order to achieve this.
Is there an easy way to create a SOAP web service in HCP? There are many tutorials in the internet of how to create a SOAP web service in 20 sec´s, but non of these helped me. I do was able to consume a SOAP web service in HCP coming from the ByD, but the other way around seems pretty complicated...
Can I make use of the Eclipse functions to create a web service? (New --> Other... --> Web Services --> Web Service and than choose the Button up Java bean Web Service type)
Have any of you some coding snippets that would probably help me out?
I have unsuccessfully tried to use the @WebService, @SOAPBinding, @WebMethod notation in my java classes...
Thank you,
Swen

SOAP web service: null parameter if namespace not declared in envelope

Hi guys,
We are exposing a SOAP web service on WebLogic Portal 10.0. The service has one method which takes a single parameter. The service works correctly if the namespace is declared in the envelope element, but it is unable to map the request correctly if the namespace is declared on each request element and so the single parameter is null.
This works:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:inv="http://company.com/inventory">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <inv:CheckProductReservation>
         <username>6144</username>
         <udac>GP1</udac>
         <directoryYpgCode>00903</directoryYpgCode>
         <headingCode>0000001005</headingCode>
         <validityStartDate>2009-09-01</validityStartDate>
         <validityEndDate>2010-08-31</validityEndDate>
         <reservationCode>1234</reservationCode>
      </inv:CheckProductReservation>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>This fails:
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
   <SOAP-ENV:Body>
      <CheckProductReservation xmlns="http://company.com/inventory">
         <username xmlns="http://company.com/inventory">6144</username>
         <udac xmlns="http://company.com/inventory">GP1</udac>
         <directorycompanyCode xmlns="http://company.com/inventory">00903</directorycompanyCode>
         <headingCode xmlns="http://company.com/inventory">0000001005</headingCode>
         <validityStartDate xmlns="http://company.com/inventory">2009-09-01</validityStartDate>
         <validityEndDate xmlns="http://company.com/inventory">2010-08-31</validityEndDate>
         <reservationCode xmlns="http://company.com/inventory">1234</reservationCode>
      </CheckProductReservation>
   </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>These two requests seem equivalent and syntactically correct. Interestingly enough, soapUI seems to think that the 2nd request is not valid.
Any ideas why the 2nd request is not working?
Thanks!

Infopath 2013 SOAP Web Service Data Connection - Error: The file is not a valid XML file

Here are the steps to replicate the issue I’m having when adding lists.asmx or any other SharePoint web service in InfoPath 2013. This web service opens fine in the browser from my desktop. My account is a farm administrator and is added to the
web application’s User Policy. I can use these services just fine using Nintex 2013 Workflow.
Open InfoPath Designer 2013.
Select Blank Form and click Design Form button.
Click “Data” tab.
Click “From Web Service” and select “From SOAP Web Service”
Enter https://mysiteurl.com/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?WSDL for the web service definition.
Click Next.
Windows Security window pops up.
Enter a credential. I tried both my account and the farm account. My account is a farm admin and is added to the web application’s User Policy with Full Control.
Click OK. It prompts for credential multiple times.
I get below this error messages:
Sorry, we couldn't open https://mysiteurl.com/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?WSDL
InfoPath cannot find or cannot access the specified Web Service description.
The file is not a valid XML file.
Not enough storage is available to process this command.
We have a project that is in need of these services using InfoPath so any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Brian_TX,
For your issue, try to the following methods:
Change your service binding in web.config to:binding="basicHttpBinding". It seems in VS it defaults to wsHttpBinding.
Replace all instances of "parameters" from the web service wsdl with the name "parameter"
There are some similar articles about the issue, you can have a look at them:

How to move data connections with SOAP web service in different environments in InfoPath Forms 2010

Hello,
I've an InfoPath Form where I've around 10 SOAP web service data connections. They are calling a custom web service for a custom business process. The web service URL has a query string parameter which identifies whether it's a Test web service or the Production
one. The web service URL looks like this:
http://server/webservice/wsdl?targetURI=testSPRead (for the Test environment)
http://server/webservice/wsdl?targetURI=ProdSPRead (for the Production environment)
When I develop the form in Dev environment, I use the Test web service URL and save the data connection as UDCX files in the data connection library. After completing the development, when I deploy this Form in Production, I update the URL in the UDCX
file in the Production data connection library, but when I run the Form in Production, it throws error 'Error occurred in calling the web service'. After doing more research, when I extracted the XSN file and opened Manifest.xsf file in Notepad, I found the
references of 'testSPRead' parameter.
So, in the UDCX file the web service URL is '/targetURI=ProdSPRead' but in the Manifest.xsf file, there is a reference of Test web service parameter which is 'testSPRead' and that's why it's throwing error.
For testing purpose, I updated the Manifest.xsf file and replaced all the occurrences of 'testSPRead' to 'ProdSPRead' and also updated all the relevant files of the data connections (like XML, XSF etc.) and saved the Manifest.xsf as Form.xsn and deployed
in Prod and it worked.
The question is - is this the right way of doing it? There should be a simple method in such cases where web service has conditional parameter to identify the Test and Production web service.
Does somebody know what is the right way of doing it? I also thought of adding 'double' data connections - one set of Test and another set of Production and call them by identifying the current SharePointServerRootURL, but that's a lot of work. I've 10 web
service data connections in my Form and in that case I'll be having 20 data connections and setting their parameters in different Rules is too much work.
Please advise. It's very important for me!
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your response Hemendra!
I hope Microsoft improves this thing in subsequent patches of InfoPath 2010 or InfoPath 2013 because I don't think this is a very special requirement. This is failing the purpose of having UDCX files for data connections. Why the WSDL's parameter value
is being written in the Manifest.xsf and other XSF and XML files. InfoPath should always refer the URL and parameters from the UDCX files.

Schema Data Type in SOAP Web Service while using Integration Gateway in SMP 3.0

Hi Experts,
I was working on Integration gateway component of SMP 3.0.3 where we can have oData services which connect to different data source from SMP and finally we have to consume from SMP. Here I have an SOAP Web service where there is Schema Data type which is an xml structure and because of that while doing the data modelling with Design time tools I am not able to map the properties as there aren't any as only the parent level Schema type is available in the SOAP Web Services. Please see the below image for reference :
So now I have 2 inputs no problems for design as such then I have the schema for that which comes as a output response which is where I am facing the issue as we don't have that Data Structure itself so how are we going to map that. I have seen some thin possibilities with Custom Scripts with SMP SP06 where this will help us to process the request and response at runtime with JS/Groovy. So needed some lights on this schema data type on Integration Gateway component of SMP 3.0.3 which we are planning to upgrade to SP06 as well so it will be a good starting point for this as well
Also have concerned my good friend Rakshit Doshi for this as well.
Regards,
Fenil.

Hi All,
Sorry for the late response guys was stuck somewhere else and so couldn't reply to this, see I have below response in SOAP UI
There if we see we have the schema as the whole structure being defined under which we have all the child elements, am also posting the raw response from the soapUI below for better understanding

      </GetMSUserLoginDetailsResponse>
   </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
So we have the data but as a xml Structure which is nothing but schema and is my Eclipse while mapping while defining response type it gives me just an schema as the property.

Fenil.
