Error HTTP: 403 - Forbidden

[gustavo_prado]

Hi experts,

I'm facing a problem that is: i've configured a scenario in Integration Builder to communicate with a party that has no authentication (user, password, keystore, etc). In this case, the communication channel only have the endpoint and the soapAction configured.

When i execute the abap program on ECC, it communicates with the PI (7.31) to consume the service. But, i'm getting the error below:

14.05.2014 19:23:03.676	Informações	SOAP: request message entering the adapter with user J2EE_GUEST
14.05.2014 19:23:03.687	Erros	Failed to call the endpoint: Error in call over HTTP: HTTP 403 Forbidden
14.05.2014 19:23:03.687	Erros	SOAP: call failed: java.io.IOException: invalid content type for SOAP: TEXT/HTML; HTTP 403 Forbidden
14.05.2014 19:23:03.693	Erros	SOAP: error occured: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: java.io.IOException: invalid content type for SOAP: TEXT/HTML; HTTP 403 Forbidden

When i consume the service by SOAPUI, it works correctly.

Someone can help ?

Best regards,

Gustavo

Hi guys, the problem was on the server hosts file, a DNS problem.

Thanks to all.

Hi Pradeep,

In my case, the solution was to change the "hosts" file on the PI server .... our PI server is on AIX, and like on Windows, it has a hosts file, that converts a address name to ip ...

A partner help us deploying the XPI Inspector on the server, it's a great tool to try to find the exactly problem.

Hi Gustavo,

Just to be sure. I have seen this in cases where a single sign on is enabled for the target system. Are you able to open the web service end point url in chrome?

Hi Varun,

Yes, i can open the web service, it prompts to put the username and password from SAP pi and it's open correctly.

Hi Gustavo,

When you consume a web service in SOAP UI, it gives the request and response right? Can you show to us a screenshot on the Raw request from SOAP UI?

Hi Gustavo,

the wrong content type is because the server replys with a html error message. The 403 error can happen if you call a https url via http. The wsdl might contain 2 addresses but only one is working.

Hi Mark,

Follows the screenshots.

Hi Udo,

The wsdl contains only one address.

I think that is something wrong with external communications.

I have a legacy system running and they're communicating fine.

Hi Gustavo,

Based on the raw, it looks like a normal literal request. But on the response, it has a soap encoding that is being returned. My guess is that it is really an rpc-encoded webservice. Does the format in SOAP UI match the format in SXI_MONITOR?

Hi Mark,

The format matches.

We think that is a problem with some internal permisson on pi ... There's some user that we have to analyze ?

Gustavo
