Sharepoint webservice call -> Invalid Response Code: (401) Unauthorized.

[Former Member]

Hello,

when I try to call a webservice provided by Sharepoint Services 3.0 I always get the following:

InvalidResponseCodeException: Invalid Response Code: (401) Unauthorized. The requested URL was:"http://[myserver]/_vti_bin/dws.asmx?WSDL, used user to connect: [myuser]" 

That myuser was given in Netweaver Administrator in the SOA Management -> Destination Template Management as "HTTP authentication - user id/passwort (basic). The destination type was set to WSDL with that URL.

Password I cheked several times. When I call this URL in a browser I can access with that user...

Any idea whats wrong or what I have to change?

Thx in advance,

Frank

One addition:

If I try to use the Web Service navigator with the WSDL URL I get a prompt for Username/Password. When I give the user thats working with the browser here, its not working as well.

Strange...

Hi,

Could you check the proxy settings on the engine? It could be seen in the NetWeaverAdministrator -> SOA Management -> Global Settings.

The assumption is that the request to wsdl goes (does not go) via proxy. Could the check what is the expected behavior.

A second assumption that comes to my mind is to double-check the password typing. It could be that something is mis typed.

A third assumption is is it certian that the web service WSDL expect basic authentication? It could be protected with other mechanisms which would result in the same result.
