Proxy Authentication required for Accessing External Webservices

[Former Member]

Hi,

I was trying to access an external WebService from my Portal Component, but it is always throwing the following exception.

Portal Runtime Error

An exception occurred while processing a request for :

iView : WeatherForecast.getWeather

Component Name : WeatherForecast.getWeather

com.sap.engine.services.webservices.jaxm.soap.accessor.NestedSOAPException: Problem in server response: [Proxy Authentication Required]..

Exception id: 11:02_20/07/05_0157_4066350

See the details for the exception ID in the log file

I have done the required proxy settigs in the Proxy service but of no use.

Has anyone come across a situation like this? any solution for this?

Thanks in advance

Hi Kiran,

You can set your proxy authentication in your code itself.

Write following code before calling Webservice.

wdcontext.current<node>element().modelobject()._setUsername("<user>");

wdcontext.current<node>element().modelobject()._setpassword("<password>");

Also, specify proxy hostname and port in logical ports file under your model.

Hello Kiran,

perhaps the Proxy Server is a Windows ISA Server and needs NTLM Authentication? Then you should ask the Proxy administrator to provide free access to the Internet for the IP of the Portal Server.
