Portal web service using UWL API logging in as Guest user

[Former Member]

Hello all.

I am working on creating web service by publishing a my custom portal service, which uses new UWL API to retrieve substitute data.

While calling the web service, it is logging in as user 'Guest', which then seems to cause problems while connection to UWL provider system at the back end. Logged in user doesn't match to user that I try to initiate session with and eventually NullPointerException occurs in WebFlowConnector.

Any advice how to get rid of that 'Guest' user and log on using my own user dedicated for this web service?

We are using SAP EP 7.0 with SP level 10

Any help or experiences working with UWL API & substitutes appreciated.

Regards,

Antti

Hi Antti,

Yes, you can use your user ID and password while configuring the webservice to get rid of guest user. Please refer to this demo, in the second part, at one place the instructor has given the default values for login details to access the webservice.
