Calling Web Service from VC

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to call a web service from VC.

I am using an HTTPS link as the WSDL. When I access the web service directly via wsnavigator it is working, when I use VC I am getting: Portal request failed. Could not execute web service consult administrator.

Any ideas???

Thanks

Hi Ismail,

there are many reasons for your error, I list the most usual ones:

-It could be that you have no enought permissions to create a system in the portal environment. Ask your administrator if you have grant permissions for doing this task.

-You could ask your administrator to create a system from an WSDL in the portal environment. He should grant your permissions to use it in the Visual Composer.

Also, i let you a how to guide for consuming webservices in Visual Composer:

Thank you. The reason why I am getting this error is due to the SSL connection.

When I deploy the web service as an HTTP web service on a different server it works fine, but on a server with HTTPS it is not.

Any ideas about that?

Hi Ismail,

You can add your portal to the Trusted sites of Internet Explore.To do this, In Internet Explorer go to Tools -> Internet Options and click on Security Tab. In top area select Trusted Sites and click on button labeled Sites.Enter URL for portal in input field and add to list of trusted sites.Now check it.

Hope it helps.
