Create XML with digital sign and SOAP header...

[Former Member]

Hi.

With ABAP, I need create an XML file iwith SOAP envelope. The message has to be signed and the sign data saved in the ws-security part in the SOAP header. I have to sign the file with a X509v3 certificate in base64.

Somebody can tell me how can create the SOAP header and sign it with ABAP for the XML.

Thanks.

What have you tried so far?

I think your best bet is to search for blogs and wikis for this.

Cheers,

Please refrain from implementing WS-Security yourself.

NWAS ABAP 7.x provides support for WS-Security - in both roles, as Consumer and Provider.

The right approach is to generate a proxy based on a given WSDL.

What kind of (message-based) authentication is demanded by the WS Provider?

Hi.

I can't use a Web Service for create the SOAP header.

The Web Service to send the XML is in a no-SAP machine, like java Service.

I create the XML in SAP, with RFC I call to Java Service and it has the Web Service that sends the XML.

I want try encapsulate message in SAP. Becouse I try dodge that I have create the sign encapsulation with java. I don't know if i can do it or if The SOAP encapsulation is created always by the Web Services (java or sap web service)

Thanks

Sounds much too complex ... - and why do you want to use RFC / JCO ...?

Somehow I have the feeling that you are more familiar with Java and try to avoid to code the WS Consumer in ABAP ...

Well, bringing RFC / JCO into the "game" will only increase TCD and TCO.
