[Axis2] Authenticating a WCF client to a Java Axis web service
Hi Team,
I write to this mailing list as I found these email addresses on the Apache
web site. The question is related to interaction between a Java web service
hosted on a Apache Axis 2 web service framework and a .NET client written
using WCF( .NET framework 3.5).
The web service expects the clients to perform a Basic HTTP authentication
over SSL (HTTPS). The service has been successfully deployed and I was
successfully able to consume the WSDL in .NET to create a .NET proxy. The
trouble begins here.
I have set the user name and password to communicate with the web service.
Now as I call the methods exposed by the Axis-2 web service, the call fails
with an "Authentication Failure".
I have done a significant amount of googling to understand the problem, some
blogs say that Axis-2 web service needs the client to authenticate itself
for every request. If this statement is correct, then what is the exact
security header that I need to inject in SOAP messages so as the
authentication succeeds.
If any of you have any sample implementation or some pointers related to
this issue, please do let me know.
Thanks to all in advance for their help.
Regards
Prahalad

Hi Nandana,
Thanks for the reply.
With respect to the steps mentioned in your mail, I would like to point out
that the java web service running on Axis -2 framework is not under my
control. It is a third party service that is hosted by another OU. Also the
certificate has been correctly installed.
Another point I forgot to mention in my previous mail, is that I can
successfully communicate with the web service and consume it using the
Microsoft.NET 2.0 web service technologies.
This means that there is some aspect of the service behavior that is not
correctly understood by the .NET framework 3.5 WCF infrastructure ( and
which we will subsequently have to handle).
While I investigate on my end, do let me know if there are some known issues
with respect to basic authentication over HTTPS between a .NET WCF client
and Axis-2 web service.
Thanks again for your time on this
Regards
Prahalad Deshpande

Hi Prahalad,
To use HTTP Basic Auth, you don't need to inject anything to SOAP
header, it works at HTTP level not at SOAP level. Did you try this [1] ? If
the certificates used for SSL are self signed ones, you may need to set
these [2] system properties.
thanks,
Nandana
