Problem consuming web service with basic authentication

[Former Member]

Hello,

I've set up a web service with basic authentication. Although I have to log in before being able to open the overview page of the web service in the Web Service Navigator, the response I get after sending a request is:

Authority check failed

I get this response in the Web Service Navigator as well as when consuming the web service via standalone proxy classes.

The following is strange, too: It is not possible to change authentication in the generated logical port. It is set to "none". I changed it via the XML file where I added the properties "AuthenticationMethod" (value "BasicAuth") and "AuthenticationMechanism" (value "HTTP"). But I got the above response anyway.

Thanks for your help!

Regards

Hi

NetWeaver 2004s, WebAS 7

The web service itself is a function module that is programmed in ABAP. I want to consume the web service with a standalone java client.

Do you need more details? If yes, which ones?

@Mukesh: Sorry, the problem discussed there is related to mine, but there is no solution that would help me.

Hi,

as far as I can see you can use the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/e9/ae1b9a5d2cef4ea4b579f19d902871/frameset.htm">Service Definition Wizard</a> as described in the manual to either use basic authentication or with client certificates.

Which one did you use?

I used basic authentication for my web service.

I was able to obtain a hardcopy of the logfiles in the meantime. The invocation of the web service is stored there with the following error messages:

<i>SOAP Runtime: Exception message: Schwerer Prozessierungsfehler macht eine SOAP-Fault-Behandlung erforderlich

SOAP Runtime: SOAP Fault exception occurred in program CL_SOAP_RUNTIME_SERVER========CP in include CL_SOAP_RU NTIME_SERVER... [the picture is cut here]</i>

In addition to that I found a thread in SDN that dealt with exactly the same problem:

But I have the same problem like Kimberly Carmack (the last post on the second page). We do not have that role in our system.

If that is the case, I guess you wopn't get around support...

Could you please let us know your version of NetWeaver and some more details, like Technology etc.?
