EP Web Services Checker and Authentication

[Former Member]

I'm trying to test out a web service through the EP Web Services Checker plug-in the Developer Studio, but I'm prevented from doing so since the web service requires authentication.

Is there a way to provide authentication credentials using this tool in the NWDS, or should I look elsewhere?

If the web service requires authetication, you can't do much about it. You need to provide authentication credentials before invoking WS.

You can use Web service Navigator also if testing of WS is the motive

Hi Ken,

If you are calling a web service that has authentication required(not optional) then there is no way you can call it successfully. However if you are calling a web service created by yourself then you will have to disable the authentication feature from it.

Thanks guys - not the answer I was looking for, but at least I know that I can't use the Checker for testing secured web services.
