How to bypass http authentication when you publish webservices in XI

[Former Member]

Hi XI Expert,

I have scenario to publish some RFC to become web services enable using XI, it is working fine

but then how to make it the webservices become anonymous ?

meaning the consumer no need to supply username and password in order to calling XI webservices.

Thank you and Best Regards

Hi,

Just a workaround...

If you are planing to expose the web service as a public service you can make a web service proxy (using java or .net, for example). You will need to publish a service with the same inbound and outbound parameters, making the proper authentication and redirecting the call to your XI web service. This .net/java service you publish with anonymous authentication and the client will no more need to authenticate.

Hello Fernnand,

Currently in XI7.0 2004s you cannot do annonymous. XI webservices need some sort of authentication. But with PI7.1 you can choose the type of authentication where annonymous is one of the options.

Hi,

You would have to do the settings for SINGLE SIGN ON
