Web service unauthorized 401

Hi,
I have created a web service from a simple helloworld function module in Netweaver 7.0.
I created the service definition with basic authentification (User/pwd) security.
Now , my user has roles SAP_BC_WEBSERVICE_CONSUMER and SAP_BC_WEBSERVICE_ADMIN_TEC but I still get a 401 unauthorized error when I run from Stylus Studio...
How can I see what authorizations I am missing... if I'm running in SRT , I can't run su53 after ????
How do you debug security for web services ???
Thanks

Hi,
thanks for the answer... I've already assigned roles and am wondering what is now missing... but also think it may be another problem.
does anyone know how to debug the security for web applications... in particular the soap run time (srt).
Normaly, in SAPGUI , you do SU53 after you get authorisation error... can't do this in the web.
Thanks.

XI Web Service - Code: (401) Unauthorized.

Hi all,
I'm new in XI. I'm trying to expose an outbound interface as a WebService.
From "Integration Directory" GUI -> Tool -> Define Web Service ... and save de WSDL in a local file.
Then I created a java client with WebDynpro model wizard from WSDL file.
When I test the client the next error appears:
"Service call exception; nested exception is: com.sap.engine.services.webservices.jaxrpc.exceptions.InvalidResponseCodeException: Invalid Response Code: (401) Unauthorized."
I tried to assign permissions to admin role in the Visual Adminstrator but a can't find the "XI Interface Web Service" that was generated.
So, i don't know what to do.
I'll apreciate any help.

Could not connect to Orchestrator web service - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials

I am trying to set up the Orchestrator Connector for Service Manager, when running the test, I get the error
<h2>401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials.</h2>
<h3>You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.</h3>
The account I am using is the system account for Service Manager. I have added that account to the local admin group on the Orchestrator server as well as the Orchestrator admin group. But to no avail.
Now when I am logged on to the Orchestrator server locally with my account, I can access the Orchestration Console with no problem, however when I try to connect to it remotely using my account, it will not accept my credentials. I need to sort this out,
can anyone help?

I found the solution, using the IIS Manager I changed the Windows authentication providers by moving NTLM above negotiate.

401:Unauthorized error while consuming a MOSS web service

Hi, We are trying to cosume a Web Service from MOSS using Spring and Axis. The WSDL requires user name and password. We are passing the right credentials however we are getting the 401 error. The exact exception is provided below. Could any one advise how this can be resolved?
java.io.FileNotFoundException: Response: '401: Unauthorized' for url: 'https://ts2amr.accenture.com/_vti_bin/Search.asmx?wsdl'.
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'spWSClient' defined in ServletContext resource [WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml]: Cannot resolve reference to bean 'spWebService' while setting bean property 'service'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'spWebService' defined in ServletContext resource [WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.remoting.RemoteLookupFailureException: Failed to initialize service for JAX-RPC port [{urn:Microsoft.Search}QueryServiceSoap]; nested exception is javax.xml.rpc.ServiceException: Error processing WSDL document:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: Response: '401: Unauthorized' for url: 'https://ts2amr.accenture.com/_vti_bin/Search.asmx?wsdl'

I can't speak for MOSS for sure, but other Microsoft services such as MapPoint used to require Digest Authentication, which isn't quite as pervasive as Basic Authentication. You should doublecheck with the MOSS administrator about the proper credentials and access. You might even try a utility like SoapUI to see if things work from a test client before trying it on the application server.

401 Unauthorized Error When calling a SharePoint REST web service from SharePoint 2013 Workflow

We have our Workflow Manger installed on the same server as our SharePoint 2013 WFE development environment. When creating a SharePoint 2013 Workflow all Calls to a SharePoint 2013 REST web service results in a 401 Unauthorized error.
As an example I created a simple workflow that should return a JSON result. The REST Url returns the results in the browser without error.
Set Variable:webServiceUrl to https://<hostnamedsitecollection>/_vti_bin/client.svc/web/lists/getbytitle('ISR%20Approvers')/Items?$select=Title&$filter=Title%20eq%20%27General%27
then Build{...} Dictionary (Output to Variable:requestHeaders)
then Call [%Variable:webServiceUrl%] HTTP web service with request (ResponseContent to Variable:responseContent |ResponseHeaders to responseHeaders | ResponseStatusCode to Variable:responseCode)
The RequestHeader is set to the requestHeaders variable though the web service call properties
then Log Variable:responseCode to the workflow history list
After manually running the workflow in SharePoint on a list item in the ISR Approvers list it Logs "Unauthorized" in the Workflow History Log. It does this with every SharePoint REST web service call that I have tried through the workflow.
It doesn't have anything to do with the Workflow Manger being installed on the same machine as the SharePoint WFE does it?
Thank You for any insight

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you had 401 Unauthorized Error when calling a SharePoint REST web service from SharePoint 2013 Workflow.
Please make sure you use the ‘Call HTTP Web Service’ correctly.
You can enter the URL into the brower to check whether it is correctly.
You need to
create the Request header requestHeaders
using a Dictionary:
Accept : application/json;odata=verbose
Content-Type : application/json;odata=verbose
To associate the
requestHeaders variable, select the Call action
property, set the RequestHeaders property to
requestHeaders.
Please refer to the following articles:
Working with Web Services in SharePoint 2013 Workflows using SharePoint Designer 2013
Calling the SharePoint 2013 Rest API from a SharePoint Designer
Workflow
In addtion, you need to make sure you install the workflow manager correctly.

(401) Unauthorized Error on Consuming Web Service

Hi
I consumed my web service in JSP but when I deploy the page. I get this error.

But I skipped the part in configuring my J2EE Visual Admin tool since I don't have access to our Visual Admin. Does it have to do with my access? BTW, I don't have access in our WS Navigator also.

401 - Unauthorized error while connecting to userprofile web service in InfoPath 2010

Hello,
I have 2wfe (NLB), 2app, 1db farm.
Everything is working fine except for one computer! I have several InfoPath forms, they have custom webservices and userprofile web service. They work without any problem, but there is one computer that gives me 401-Unathourized Error! I'm not sure it is
double hop issue because there is no other user/computer we are having a problem!
I checked several blogs, they refer to hosts file, but not sure because why is it happening only on one computer?
I have hosts files refers to 127.0.0.1 webapp .
What could be the issue? I have other Service Apps are working without any issues.
Could you please help me?
Thank You
Orrin

Hi ,
No, due to the issue is happening only on one computer.
The error "(401) Unauthorized" usually indicates that the connection has been established but the permission check fails. InfoPath Form Services uses the application pool identity of the web
application to connect to resources.
Does the account which login the computer have permission to connect to User Profile Service Application?
For a workaround, you can go to IIS Manager , set the User Profile Application Pool to Anonymous Access and try again.
Also you can have a look at the blog:

The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized. + Web Service userprofileservice.asmx

Hi Community,
I need you assistance on an issue I'm facing.
The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.
The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.)
I'm connecting to a web service (userprofileservice.asmx) to auto populate email address in an Info Path form. It was working fine Friday/Monday. Open the form today and I received error:5566
It's populating in preview but when I open the form in the browser (info path web part) that's when I receive error:5566
I need your help guys please, this is doing my head in.
Cheers Matt

Not sure how you do that?
I'm using SOAP UI to test I can connect to the web service and check the envelope request
details. Before it was giving me 401 error until I granted my account permission to that asmx on the web server.
It's strange because I can connect to the web service by soap UI and see all the information.
I can connect to the web service by using the URL.
Works fine in preview mode.
Was working fine on the production environment until yesterday and now I have error 5566.
All the configuration on the web server is the same.
I'm at a brick wall.. Help

Web Service problem: HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized

Hmm, I had a working set-up with Wireless Toolkit client communicating with Sun One Application Server 8 Web Service using 2004Q4 version of J2EE SDK. I just upgraded to 2005Q1 version, and noticed that the web service fails to work anymore.
I took a peek into the SOAP calls, and noticed that Appserver is now returning error message "HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized" with content of '0' instead of the SOAP envelope with correct response.
My web service doesn't use any authentication, confidentiality and integrity is set to 0, and there are no roles defined. I can access the web server root and WSDL file just nicely, the problem comes when the midlet connects to the server. It didn't exist with the previous version, everything worked fine there.
What might be the cause of this change in behavior? It seems like it's forcing me to authenticate but I don't want to and have no idea what kind of credentials it would then be asking for.

Ah, a bit testing and I figured it out myself. For some reason, to use the endpoint without authenticating, transport-guarantee & login-config should be left unset intead of 'none' which I used to have there. Mighty peculiar behavior - but it works now.

(401) unauthorized error when accessing web service....

Hello people! Can someone could possibly help me out. I'm try to consume a web service in .net technology. This was supposedly working already but lately I'm already given a (401) unauthorized error when consuming the web services. Here the code that was working couple of days ago....

}

1. Use iFrame to show you report from Resporting Services in your Web App.
Or :
2. Use Report Viewer in your Web App if you use .NET, and use this code to pass your parameters :
ReportViewer1.ServerReport.Credential = new System.Network.NetworkCredential(“your name”, “your password”, “your domain”);

Accessing Microsoft Exchange Web Services: 401 Unauthorized

Hi experts,
I try to access a Microsoft Exchange Webservice. Therefore I created a Web Service Client in the Developer Studio and a servlet to access the the Web Service and display the data. I modified the .wsdl file as described in several blogs before I created the WS Client. My code to do the authentication is:
URL wsdlURL = new URL("http://<host>:<port>/ExchangeWsClient/wsdl/Services.wsdl");
            ExchangeServicePortType port = exchangeAuthenticator.getExchangeServicePort("username", "password123", "domain", wsdlURL);
But when I try to access the servlet I get the following exception:
Caused by: com.sap.engine.services.webservices.espbase.client.bindings.exceptions.TransportBindingException: Invalid Response code (401). Server <https://<host>/EWS/exchange.asmx> returned message <Unauthorized>.

The error then happens in the following line, when the web service tries to fetch the data:
port.findItem(request, exchangeEnvironmentSettings.getMailboxCulture(),
exchangeEnvironmentSettings.getRequestServerVersion(), findItemResult,
exchangeEnvironmentSettings.getServerVersionInfoHolder());
When I login to https://<host>/EWS/exchange.asmx I can login succesfully with the given credentials in the coding. Do you have any ideas what the problem may be?

ALUI-Create Web Service - Remote Portlet Error 401:Unauthorized

I have some problems during user ALUI(AquaLogic User Interaction 6.1).
I created a Web Service - Remote Portlet,then set value of Basic Authentication Settings is "User's Basic Authentication Information". When related remote server refer to tomcat5.5,the Web Service - Remote Portlet is fine to run,but not when the related remote server refer to weblogic9.2.
When value of Basic Authentication Settings is "Use Remote Server Basic Authentication Information", related remote server refer to weblogic9.2 or tomcate5.5, the portlet is fine.
error detail:
Error
sso Portlet cannot be displayed because the remote server returned an invalid HTTP response code.
We recommend:
• Refresh sso Portlet
• Accessing this portlet at a later time.
• Contacting your portal administrator if problems persist.
Detailed error information
• Response status: 401
• Response body:
Error 401--Unauthorized
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.4.2 401 Unauthorized
The request requires user authentication. The response MUST include a WWW-Authenticate header field (section 14.46) containing a challenge applicable to the requested resource. The client MAY repeat the request with a suitable Authorization header field (section 14.8). If the request already included Authorization credentials, then the 401 response indicates that authorization has been refused for those credentials. If the 401 response contains the same challenge as the prior response, and the user agent has already attempted authentication at least once, then the user SHOULD be presented the entity that was given in the response, since that entity MAY include relevant diagnostic information. HTTP access authentication is explained in section 11.

How to configure remote server to accept authorization header?
I set value of Basic Authentication Settings is "User's Basic Authentication Information" because the Web Service - Remote Portlet need to get the portal's login user infomation.If the value is "Use Remote Server Basic Authentication Information",the application is fine to run.
The follow is the way to get login user infomation.
IPortletContext portletContext = PortletContextFactory.createPortletContext(request, response);
ICredentialProvider cProvider = portletContext.getCredentialProvider();
String username = cProvider.getUsername();
String password = cProvider.getPassword();
Do you have other way to authenticate users?
Thanks.

Hi Dennis Ahaus,
If you are using Adaptive webservice model, you can provide the credentials as below.
wdContext.currentXXXXElement().modelObject().setInvokerProperty(javax.xml.rpc.Stub.USERNAME_PROPERTY,"username");
//           wdContext.currentXXXXElement().modelObject().setInvokerProperty(javax.xml.rpc.Stub.PASSWORD_PROPERTY,"password");

URG: Invalid Response Code: (401) Unauthorized to a web service

Hello,
I'm trying to configure a SSO between CE and ERP. I want to access a Web Services of the ERP from WSNavigator through a logical destination, but I have the following error,
"Invalid Response Code: (401) Unauthorized"
I dont know what step I'm doing wrong, I've already configured the CE Certificate in the ERP, I've put the flag in the Web Service Endpoint as "HTTP Authentication" with "Logon Tickets" and in the Logical Destination I've put the flag "HTTP Authentication" with "Logon Tickets".
I dont know what's wrong. Please if anyone have a guide or tutorial for configure this, I would appreciate it very much.
Thanks
Regards
SU

Hi,
Did you check the domain of CE and ERP are the same.
Check the Port at the end of the WSDL, it should have the full domain.
Regards, Gilles.

SSRS Web Service: works over wire, but 401 Unauthorized from server.

I'm trying to port a program from an older system to a new SSRS 2014 installation, and am having trouble with authorization.
The program uses the SSRS Web Service to get reports from the report server. At present, I can make the web service call from my development machine to the server, and the server responds correctly with the appropriate report. The problem is that I need
the program (making the report request) to run on the same machine as SSRS. When I deploy and run the program from the server (with the exact same credentials that worked over the wire), I get a 401 Unauthorized response.
I've been struggling with this all week, and have gotten nowhere. I'm sure there's something (probably something small) that I missed, but I just can't figure out what it could be. Would really appreciate any suggestions.

Hi sbinder1,
According to your description, you have a problem which call web services to use report. It works on development environment. When it runs on report server, it get the 401 error even using same credential. Right?
In Reporting Services, the default authentication type is Windows Integrated authentication. Since we are not clear about your program and the authentication type. If this is an asp.net application with NTLM and you don't bind any credential in the
code, it may have "double hop" issue so that it will connect report with anonymous credential. In this scenario, please configure the Kerberos authentication for Reporting Services. Please refer to the links below:
The Kerberos Double Hop Problem
Enabling Kerberos Authentication for Reporting Services
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,
Simon Hou
