PI - NTLM Authentication AXIS

[Former Member]

Hi,

Do you know if NTLMv2 is supported by AXIS framework on the SOAP PI adapter??

I want to consume a web service in a IIS server, so I want to configure the SOAP Axis receiver adapter.

I tried to use the Commonshttp module to use NTLM but I am still getting an error on the authentication and I didn't find a sdn threads with a solution with it.

Does somebody have an example of this communication?

Thanks

Hi,

Anyone has a clue if this connectivity can be done through AXIS using NTLMv2 authentication?

Hi,

The axis adapter uses the apache HttpCommons's HttpClient. This library supports NTLMv1 but not NTLMv2.

Some years ago, there was a work to include NTLMv2 in HttpCommons, but the donated code included a licensed library that cannot be released under the apache license, so the code was rejected. If you are a developer, you might want to use that implementation. You can find the implementation at the Apache's JIRA (the issue tracking page) for the HttpCommons project.

Alternatively, there is a commercial handler implementation that costs money.

Hi Yza,

thanks a lot for your help, I think I got the same conclusion that you mention it is not supported,

Here is the link for JIRA in case somebody else need it

[https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&mode=hide&pid=12310360&sorter/order=DESC&sorter/field=priority&resolution=-1&component=12311098|https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&mode=hide&pid=12310360&sorter/order=DESC&sorter/field=priority&resolution=-1&component=12311098]

Before I can close the thread and give the points, could you tell me the name of the commercial handler?

Thanks

I hope posting a commercial link is not violating the rules of this forum.

Hi Omar,

I have a requirement to call the sharepoint webservice using Java Axis, the sharepoint runs on a windows server, which requires NTLMv2 authentication. I am new to this, don't know how to authenticate it. I have downloaded the commons-httpclient.jar with the support of NTLMv2, it works when I want to call the GetMethod on a URL, but don't know how to authenticate the webservice bit.

Can you please help me in anything?

Thanks & Regards,

Ravi.
