Web service authentication

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I've created a web service froma function module.

My colleague has developed the consumer (proxy client) for it (with java).

But he isn't able to call the web service for a authentication problem?

which are the steps for authentication?

thanks,

Hi, Enzo!

The necessary authentication steps depend on the security level you set in your web service definition:

-) basic authentication via username/password or

-) client certificate

Please have a look at <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/de/f7/af60f2e04d0848888675a800623a81/frameset.htm">Web Service Security</a>

If you' ve any further questions, please contact me.

Hi Thomas,

I use basic authentication, but the java client is unable to connect to web service for a authorization problem.

Really, I don't know if it's a java programming problem or a web service problem.

thanks,

Hi, Enzo!

What are the security settings in the WSD and WS-DD? Could you additionally let me have the error message you receive when trying to execute the service? Is it an authentication or authorization problem?
