HTTP 401 - UNAUTHORIZED. in HTTP TO RFC scenario

[Former Member]

Hi Friends,

I am beginner of XI and trying out HTTP TO RFC scenario referring the blog:

/people/community.user/blog/2006/12/12/http-to-rfc--a-starter-kit

but got stuck while sending a message from runtime workbench.

I am getting HTTP 401 - UNAUTHORIZED. Please dont mind if it silly doubt. I am beginner to XI and badly stuck up here.

Also to let you know -

In Runtime Workbench > Integration Server > Integration Engine XI1. To the left there is yellow triangle but all others (BPE XI1, Mapping Runtime xi01 and Adapter Engine XI01)

were green. Is Integration Engine XI1 should also be green? is that causing a problem?

Please give your valuable suggestions.

Looking forward for your response.

Thanks and Regards

Sam

This may be due to wrong user id and password ..check logon details in SM59 under "HTTP Connections to ABAP System"

Try to send messages from Integration Server>Adapter engine >Test Messages

Hi Guru,

Hi Samuel,

HTTP 500 is the correct response.

The problem seems to be with the user you are using to send the HTTP message to XI. Make sure that the user you are using to test with to send the HTTP message has at least the same authorisations as XIAPPLUSER.

How are you currently testing your interface? Which application are you using to send the HTTP message?

This username and password will either be configured in the application or you will be prompted during the test for a user and password.

No problem.

Where do you get the message Unauthorized?

Is the message getting displayed on the same page where you are testing from? If so then you do not have access to use this test tool.

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

Yes I am getting on the same page. How to get access to this tool?

Please let me know if i can use any other tool?

Thanks

Try using your own user id and password.

To see if XIISUSER is locked goto transaction su01 and type XIISUSER and click the lock overview button.

If your user does not work, use XIAPPLUSER if you have the password.

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

i checked xiisuser is not locked.

is there any way to reset the password of xiisuser? or to know the exact current password?

Thank you very much for your time

I would not advise changing a service user's password since this user could be used in many places and changing the password could cause several problems. Also i would suggest using XIAPPLUSER instead of XIISUSER.

My suggestion would be to instead copy the XIAPPLUSER to a new username (maybe to XIAPPLCOPY), that way you ensure you have the correct authorisations and you can also set the password of the new user.

To do this goto:

-> Transaction SU01

-> Type in XIAPPLUSER and press the copy button then enter the new user name (such as XIAPPLCOPY)

-> Now set the password by editing the newly created user (pencil button in SU01).

tried by copying to new user but still the same problem. when i click send button in the HTTP CLIENT, it keep on prompting for username and password.

Please let me know your comments.

Hi Sam,

After clicking the send button, try copying the URL in the textbox, directly into your internet browser and see if you have access.

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

i restarted my xi server after which after clicking send button atleast SAPAPPLCOPY is accepting. Now i am able to see the messages in sxmb_moni also but all are red incolor.

HTTP response contains status code 401 with the description unauthorized.

error id: http_resp_status_code_not_OK

error_category: internal

please let me know your commnets.

Hi

I think mistake which i have done is i have tried changing the password for "xiisuser" just before you told that it is dangerous to play with it.

I think htat si the reason everything stopeed working now. MY simple filetofile scenario also not working which worked fine eariler. Alsi not able to refresh the cache also.

Any idea of what is the problem is? Is there any way to redo that.

Thanks
