How determine credentials in 'webserviced' FM?

[Former Member]

Hi,

As you all know it's easy to have all FMs (in our case in WebAS 6.2) webservice enabled.

I wonder however how I can determine in the FM what the ceredentials are one used when one calls the webserviced FM . Is the the SY var as is plain ABAP?

All RFC enabled FMs are webservices.

You can get the WSDL of the webservice by using the below given URL.

http://<was_server>:<port>/sap/bc/soap/wsdl11?services=<RFC FM name in CAPS>&sap-client=<sap client>

Which will tell you about the parameters.

Yes SY var is plain ABAP.

Raja,

I think I've put my question not clear enough. All is already set. The FM is built (and of course the WSDL with it), the client is made. All I want to know is with which user the client calls the webservice.

Hi,

it has to be a valid sap user.

log on credentials need to passed along with the SOAP request.

from where you are consuming the webservice?

That's for sure that it has to be a vaild SAP user, but in which variable is it put. Is it in sy-uname

like 'normal' ABAP coding or is it put in another variable special for webservices?

[athavanraja]

Yes its in SY-UNAME.

If you could tell me from where you are trying to consume this webservice (for e.g java client, vb client or mssoap client) it will be more clear to address the issue.

OK, thanx.

It was a PEAR:SOAP PHP client, but as suh it doesn't matter since we don't know what the consumer will be. We just want to know which user is using it in order to determine which data he can/will get returned.

[athavanraja]

Ok, in that case you can check sy-uname in the abap.
