WebService Authentication

Hi All,
I created one SOAP Sender adapter in XI using that i am calling an RFC and getting response.
But when i tested the webservice, it is asking for userid & password of XI user.
How can I avoid this ??
Can I specify uid/pwd somewhere in URL ??
How can I make it anonymous access ?
Thanks in Advance.

Webservice authentication using plaintext password

Hi All,
A basic question:
For plaintext password authentication, where on the server, do I set what password and username should it against?
Details:
We are trying to configure Webservice authentication using plaintext password. Using Jdev 10.1.3.0.4 [constrained to use this], from WebServices editor, it adds the following lines in oracle-webservices.xml:
<runtime enabled="security">
<security>
<inbound>
<verify-username-token password-type="PLAINTEXT"
require-nonce="false"
require-created="false"/>
</inbound>
<outbound/>
</security>
</runtime>
I am also able to see the username / password fields in the webservices UI.
The question is: where on the server, do I set what password and username should it against?
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Thanks indeed, Vinod. But my question still remains [perhaps what is obvious to you as expert, might not be obvious to me]. I have folllowed same steps and have achieved the results documented in this post. But where do I provide the correct password on the server side? Currently for any password that is supplied by the client, it allows the call to web services.
Thanks again!

Webservice authentication problem

Web Service Authentication problem
Posted: Jun 17, 2005 3:32 PM Reply E-mail this post
Hi
I have created a portal service and exposed this service as a webservice. I am consuming this webservice in webdynpro. Portal service contains 2 simple methods putdata() and getdatat().
When i access the webservice i am getting the following error.
"javax.xml.rpc.soap.SOAPFaultException: The User Authentification is not correct to access to the Portal Service com.sap.portal.prt.soap.GlobalData or the service was not found"
My Enterprise portal server is configured for SSO to back end R/3 system. I have checked for portal service availability and it is fine.
My Webdynpro and Portal are running on different machines. EP is running on AIX with SP11.
Any help please.

Hi Shahab,
Can you reproduce the issue if you create 2 applications. One that exposes a secured web service and the other one the one, consumes the web service? This would help to isolate the issue and move forward in case is a bug.

Webservice authentication failure

Hi
I have a webservice which need a userid and pwd for authentication purpose. I have configured these credential information in my communication channel. But my webservice team claims this authentication information is not available at http header (they are capturing the message that is going to webservice from XI throguh some java test tool)and that's why XI is unable to communicate with the webservice. Could you plz tell me how to send the authentication information in the header ??
thanks
kumar

Hi Palanti,
There are some information missing in your query. first which adapter are you using? Sender or receiver SOAP adapter? As you might be knowing, SOAP adapter is imperative for web services.
If you are using a receiver SOAP adapter, then the user credentials can be entered while configuring the adapter itself.
But, if you are using a sender SOAP adapter then you need to specify, which conversion parameters you are using?
please elaborate your query for better help.
Thanks,
Varun

Error in Webservices Authentication from ADF Page

Hi All,
I have created an ADF page which calls secured web services deployed in another weblogic server.
While running the ADF page from local host (weblogic server installed on my m/c) it is working fine and creating the connection to web services but when I deploy same ADF application to the development server it is not making the connection with web service and throwing below errors..
I analyzed the issue and found that
• Connection from local host: while creating the data control for web services from jdeveloper, am providing some user credentials for http authentication, only then we can access the webservices.
• Connection from development instance: however these credentials are missing while making the connection to webservices from development instance. Probably these credentials are not getting passed/stored in the EAR file through which I am deploying the application.

Another way would be to update Your Credential Store.Using wlst, you can use something like:
wls:/DefaultDomain/serverConfig> createCred(map="oracle.wsm.security",key="basic.credentials", user="USERNAME", password="PASSWORD", desc="User credentials key")
This adds the key basic.credentials to the map oracle.wsm.security with the username as "USERNAME". This entry will be stored inside <your domain>/config/fmwconfig/cwallet.sso.

ATG webservice authentication

Hi all,
we have developed for our customer a custom webservice. We used the ATG WS guide in order to have a webservice that is full compilant with the ATG standards.
Our main problem is the authentication. Infact the WS responds without perform before a request to the loginUser ATG WS (http://localhost:7001/userprofiling/usersession/loginUser?WSDL), and this behaviour is not what we expected.
We are using curl to test our WS:
curl -v -b cookies.txt -X POST -H "Content-Type: text/xml" -d "<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\" xmlns:xsd=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema\" xmlns:soapenv=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\" xmlns:web=\"http://www.atg.com/webservices\"><soapenv:Header/><soapenv:Body><web:findCustomer soapenv:encodingStyle=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/\"><identificationID xsi:type=\"xsd:string\">abc123</identificationID></web:findCustomer></soapenv:Body></soapenv:Envelope>" http://localhost:7001/vws/findCustomer/findCustomer
the response is correct, but we shouldn't have right response becouse we have not send before a login request loginUser ATG WS.
During the WS Creation Wizard we have selected the right option "Provide session and security constraints" and than we have created a new security policy by selecting the user that should be use the WS.
Does someone have the same problem?
Thanks.

Have you set a default response of such type of ATG Web-Service?
Sometimes even when you give the incorrect request, a default response is thrown back from the Web-Service.
Let me know if this is the case?

MSSQL2005 Endpoint (Webservice) Authentication

Hello,
I am trying to fetch data from SQL Server 2005, bypassing
IIS, SQL 2005 Endpoints require a username and password and don't
support anonymous access. How can I send a username and password
for authentication? This is the Flex 2 Beta 2 code I am using to
call the service:
<mx:WebService id="zoban" wsdl="
http://zoban/Library?WSDL">
<mx
peration name="GetBooks">
<mx:request>
<Text>{kaka.text}</Text>
</mx:request>
</mx
peration>
When I point my browser to the service I just get the
username prompt. Can I squeeze in something like
<mx:username> and <mx
assword> in there?
Best!

WE;; NEXT WAS UR QUESTION OF using a query string parameter
pART 2 Passing request data into Flex applications
You can pass request data to Flex applications by using a
query string parameter or defining flashVars properties in the HTML
wrapper. When you use query string parameters, Flex converts them
to flashVars variables and passes them to the application.
Inside the Flex application, you access flashVars properties
and query string parameters exactly the same way, but the way that
you pass them to the Flex application is different:
* The flashVars properties: You explicitly define the
flashVars properties in the HTML wrapper that points to the Flex
application.
* Query string parameters: You attach query string
parameters to the URL in the browser's target window and the Flex
Enterprise Services 2.0 converts them to flashVars variables.
Changing either the query string parameter or the flashVars
property does not trigger a recompilation of the Flex application
if you are using the Flex Enterprise server.
To use flashVars or query string parameters inside your MXML
file, you access the Application.application.parameters object. The
parameters property points to a dynamic object that stores each
parameter as a name-value pair. You can access variables on the
parameters object by specifying parameters.variable_name. As with
any variable, you can bind the parameters object's properties to a
display control or modify the value and return it to another
function.
The following example defines the myName and myHometown
variables and binds them to the text of Label controls:
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.macromedia.com/2005/mxml"
creationComplete="initVars()">
<mx:Script><![CDATA[
// Declare bindable properties in Application scope.
[Bindable]
private var myName:String;
[Bindable]
private var myHometown:String;
// Assign values to new properties.
private function initVars():void {
myName = Application.application.parameters.myName;
myHometown = Application.application.parameters.myHometown;
]]></mx:Script>
<mx:VBox>
<mx:HBox>
<mx:Label text="Name: "/>
<mx:Label text="{myName}" fontWeight="bold"/>
</mx:HBox>
<mx:HBox>
<mx:Label text="Hometown: "/>
<mx:Label text="{myHometown}" fontWeight="bold"/>
</mx:HBox>
</mx:VBox>
</mx:Application>
When a user requests this application with the myName and
myHometown parameters defined, Flex displays their values in the
Label controls. The following URL passes the name Nick and the
hometown San Francisco to the Flex application:
http://localhost:8100/flex/myApp.swf?myName=Nick&myHometown=San%20Francisco
To view all the flashVars properties, you can iterate over
the parameters object, as the following example shows:
for (var i:String in Application.application.parameters) {
ta1.text += i + ":" + Application.application.parameters
+ "\n";
Flex does not recompile the application if the request
variables have changed. As a result, if you dynamically set the
values of the flashVars properties or query string parameters, you
do not force a recompilation.
Query string parameters must be URL encoded. The format of
the string is a set of name-value pairs separated by an ampersand
. You can escape special and nonprintable characters
with a percent symbol (%) followed by a two-digit hexadecimal
value. You can represent a single blank space using the plus sign
(+).
The encoding for flashVars properties and query string
parameters is the same as the page. Internet Explorer provides
UTF-16-compliant strings on the Windows platform. Netscape sends a
UTF-8-encoded string to Flash Player.
Most browsers support a flashVars String or query string up
to 64 KB (65535 bytes) in length. They can include any number of
name-value pairs.

Webservice authentication: missing "domain" parameter

Hi,
we are using the LC 8.2 webservice component and need to authenticate with user, password and domain. Unfortunately the webservice component has no parameter for the "domain". How can we configure it that the authentication mechanism using the "domain" parameter works?
Thanks and regards,
Daniel

Try to prefix your domain name with the user name as like:
mydomain\myusername

Invoking webservice-Authentication issue

Hi All,
I need a help to solve the given below issue.
Scenario is to use the Webservice concept for the integration between non SAP system ( webservice) with the non SAP System( webservice) via PI using SOAP Adapter.
I have generated the WSDL file from PI and given it to the Source System.When I tried testing with the SOAP Client (Altova XML Spy) to PI , the establishment of connection is fine for HTTP (the userID and Password is given in the prompt window of XMLSpy tool).Getting the message as "Webservice has sent an empty response".
But the problem occur when the Java Client tries to invoke the webservice from their desktop(within the network).
Error message from Java client while connecting is given below( pasted few lines):
org.apache.commons.httpclient.auth.AuthChallengeProcessor selectAuthScheme
INFO: basic authentication scheme selected
Jan 15, 2008 9:56:13 AM org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodDirector processWWWAuthChallenge
INFO: No credentials available for BASIC 'XISOAPApps'@192.85.27.136:50800
Jan 15, 2008 9:56:13 AM org.codehaus.xfire.transport.http.HttpChannel sendViaClient
I also tried giving the user ID and Password in the URL of SOAP Address .But still it did not work out.I have gone through so many blogs ( How to remove the authentication in sender SOAP Adapter).But that option is not accepted as we are changing the SAP Standard code.
I would like to know whether the user/password authentication is to be done in the visual administrator in PI or Java webclient should write any code from their side for authentication ( user Id/Password).
If the code is to be written in Java ,Can you give me the piece of code written for authentication.
Right now I am only testing the interface between the Source and the PI System.
Please provide your assistance.
Regards
B.Dheepa

The Java Cient has to provide the user name and password.
You can use the folowing snippet
connection = url.openConnection();
if( connection instanceof HttpURLConnection )
((HttpURLConnection)connection).setRequestMethod("POST");
     connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type","text/xml");
     connection.setDoOutput(true);
     String password = User + ":" + Password ;
     String encodedPassword = new String(new BASE64Encoder().encode(password.getBytes()));
     connection.setRequestProperty ("Authorization", "Basic " + encodedPassword);
     connection.connect();
Please award points if you find the message useful

VC call webservice Authentication Problem

I am trying to follow the tutotia l(Tutorial 1: Modeling a Simple Application ) of VC in CE72 at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce72/helpdata/en/44/d958673ef05f4de10000000a11466f/frameset.htm. When run the model, error 401 occurs when call the webservice. I tested webservice successfully by right click the data service. however, it need enter UID/Pwd(In NWA-> SOA Manager, Single service admin, it doesn't allow no authention). I think the problem is bwteen user mapping beween VC(EP) and webservice. Any one know how to define such a user mapping in EP?
I created a system object in EP, but cannot find it in user management. Thanks!

Jdeveloper webservice authentication - HELP!

Hi
ok, this is the situation: I developed a java webservice that i installed in aplication server 10g. It's working fine without authentication! What I need is to force anyone that tries to access the web service to authenticate himself against OID.
I tried a lot of things that worked throw a web browser but they don't work throw a client stub! My goal is when the clent stub tries to access the web service, some kind of authentication mechanism is fired. I need some help urgent on how to secure my web service in AS10g.
What do I need to do from the client side and from the server side? I read the Oracle Application Server web services documentation but the only thing that it states is that it is possible to secure but it doesn't say how!
Please someone respond! I'm using JDeveloper 90501 and AS 10g, my client stub accesses by SOAP.
Thanks in advanced
Vitor Cardoso

Victor,
there's a way doing it, but NOT against OID per default - you can use as a first step basic auth from your webservice stub, and do the rest programmaticly from you stub by calling a login method for example that does authentication on the server;
For basic authentication, there's an article on my weblog
http://clemensblog.blogspot.com/2004_05_01_clemensblog_archive.html - that points to a detailed howto.

MDM Webservice: Authentication

when we deploy MDM Webeservices on J2EE Box, WSDL overview shows that Authentication paramter is none, how do we turn on Authentication?
-Sudhir

Hi Sudhir,
After deploying the webservices, you have to provide the MDM userid/password in the property sheets of the deployed web service using visual administrator.
1. Visual Administrator -> Server -> Configuration Adapter -> (aaps->sap.com->tcmdmws~facade->appcfg)
2. click edit mode.
3. double click propertysheet.application.global.properties
4. then you can see user id, password for create, search, update, etc.
I hope this helps you.
Thanks,
Raags

WebService authentication problems

I am trying to use a web service that serves over https, has wsdl that is accessible using account name and password, and then when I actually call methods, requires basic authentication using account name and API key.
I have tried to work with Flex WebService generated by the Data import capability of flex builder 3 and flash builder 4. They both DO NOT handle the authentication...
When I construct the webService object, it loads the wsdl (I don't understand why, because flash builder already imported it to build the service classes). This fails, because I can't specify the required authentication info.
Since I do not use a proxy I can't use the "setCredentials" methods.
What should I do ?

The Flash Builder generated code still uses the underlying WebService class and it requires wsdl to be available during run time too. As discussed in a separate post, I have filed a enhancement request to exclude this during run time, pls. feel free to vote for it
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-21811
With regards to authentication support for WebServices, The WebService class has the following properties to set your authentication details
headers : Array
Returns the array of SOAPHeaders registered for the WebService. AbstractWebService
httpHeaders : Object
Custom HTTP headers to be sent to the SOAP endpoint.
Currently the Data Menu - > Connect to Web Service Wizard does not support authenticated web services and those on https, the bug id for that is
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-20632

How to add WebService authentication in pl/sql using UTL_HTTP

Hi,
I am passing SOAP request and getting output as a soap response from WebService using UTL_HTTP.
Calling Web service client call from the PL/SQL procedure.
Java web service is a service producer.
Now we needs to add security to the application we are planing to add some of the userid/pwd credientials.
So what needs to be add sql code in the sq/sql for making client call.
i checked from the few of the articles. it shown like
UTL_HTTP.set_authentication(http_req, 'username', 'password' );
is it enough for making clent call or any other changes are required.
Please let me know and any code to be implemented in the jave side aslo(if you knows) :-)
Thanks,
Pradeep.

Okay, backtrack.
A web server can deliver all kinds of content. From static HTML pages, to XML files and videos and dynamic content. Including reports.
The communication language (protocol) used to talk to a web server is HTTP.
UTL_HTTP is an Oracle PL/SQL library that implements the client side of this communication. It allows the developer to write code that acts like a web browser and communicates with a web server.
Now what do you not understand and cannot use?
HTTP is not simple and easy. You need to understand the basics of this communication language in order to communicate successfully with the web server. Like knowing the difference between GET and PUT and POST commands, how the URL query string works and so on.
Once you know that, you can look at how the web server provides reports. How do you authenticate as a web browser with the web reporting system? What URLs do you use to access which reports? How do you pass name-values to the web server as report parameters? What HTTP response formats (MIME types) does the web report server provide? Which one do you plan to use and how do you parse that response into a meaning structured data format?
If you're thinking it is "easy", think again. Sure, someone here can provide sample code that for example grabs a CSV report file from a web server and (using a pipeline table function), turn that into rows and columns. But that will not teach you the fundamentals you need to know and not equip you with dealing with the problem with your own brains, hands and keyboard.
PS. In other words, learn to crawl and walk before trying to run. Get to grips with how HTTP works before diving into the deep end of web report integration.
