Authentication consuming sharepoint web services

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am trying to cunsume sharepoint web services from a web dynpro application using the adaptive web service model. I've followed the steps in

[https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d076c662-8c0f-2b10-8ca4-e63c26e2e489]

I configured the logical destinations as described in the article using basic autentication (usernamepassword) but when I run the web service I get an authorization error. If Y put the web service url in a browser, end enter userpassword I can access the web service page correctly.

The stack trace of the web dynpro app is:

Caused by: java.rmi.RemoteException: Invalid Response Code: (401) Unauthorized. The requested URL was:"http://bfdev23/balancesheet/assets/ARI/_vti_bin/lists.asmx"; nested exception is:

Hi Diego,

I too faced this problem .. After many attempts i was unable to resolve this if I use basic authentication . As you said , I was also able to access tht from my browser.

The username and password should be configured in Visual Administrator.

You can refer to the following link to get more information on this :

Hi,

Thanks for your answer. The link I mentioned in the previous post already descrubed how to set username and password in the logical destination using basic authentication, but as I said it does not work for me.

Do you know if using SSO I can make this work ?

Thanks,

Diego.

Hi All,

I resolved it. You have to enable basic authentication in sharepoint, normally only windows integrated authentication is enabled.
