Doubt regarding testing Soap scenario (HTTPS)

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

I have a scenario where a Bapi functionality(server proxy) is exposed as a webservice .

So scenario will be SOAP -> XI -> Proxy (calls a BAPI).

I need to use https for this scenario. I have read most of the blogs and threads regarding this and will proceed accordingly.

I have a simple doubt :

After configuring a scenario to *only* accept a Soap message with appropriate valid certificate -

If I have to test my scenario using XML spy, how can I attach a certificate to Soap request in XML spy?

Or is their any feature available in XMl spy or in Xi itself to do these kind of test?

or please suggest me a work around to test the scenario configuration with certificates.

Thanks in Advance!

HI,

With XMLspy you can't test the HTTPs scenarios. XMLspy is not supporting an SSL stream, because it is encrypted. Only the two endpoints/systems that are started with the SSL session can decrypt one anothers' messages.

You need to use the SOAP teat tools which can support the SSL certificates.

For e.g. soapUI can be good tool.

Hi Swarup,

I would like to know :

What happens when a check for certificate validation fails in XI? It may be due to invalid certificate, expired certificate or a request from unauthorised user-

- Will it be raised as a exception and we need to do some configuration to inform it back to Sender?

- Will the message fail in Moni with red flag ?

- Alerts will be created ?

Please share your experiences and expert sugestions.

Thanks in Advance!!
