User authentication for SOAP sender channel

[Former Member]

Dear Friends,

I have developed one web service scenario in Pi 7.0. It is Soap to RFC. I have tested it in XML spy and it works fine.

When i test this scenario in XML spy, and after loading WSDL file and sending request to server,  it asks for PI user name and passwords. I have to send this WSDL file to third party for testing purpose. But problem is, i don't want to share my PI user name and password. Is there any way that we can hard code this user name and password in SOAP sender channel? I have read that SOAP sender channel do not give any facility to hard code this user and password information in SOAP sender channel.

Can you please tell me what is the best way to manage this user authentication information? Some thread says that  we can put this in URL, some says that ultimately we have to provide  these user authentication information because they will require it to configure their SOAP receiver channel in order to  consume web service.

Kindly  suggest in this regards

Thanks

check with your security team and create a service user id ...which you can share it with other teams and use in CC configuaration if required.

You have 3 options

1)Provide user name and password they need to hard code it in their environment.

2)You can append user name and password as part of cervice URL.

3)Removing client authentication for web service.

But i recommend first option, why you worried about sharing PI system credetials? Create separate user id and share with them if client accepts.

Thank you
