RE: Auth Notification in WSDL? / basic auth in apache

[Phil Surette <ps...@espial.com>]

IIRC, SOAP implementations are not required to support basic auth,
but Axis does (.NET doesn't). 

The org.apache.axis.client.Call object has setUsername() and 
setPassword() methods which are all you need for basic auth 
(on the client side).

That sounds like what I'm going to have to do.  The only problem is that I'm
not sure where to start with that.  Honestly, I haven't had a chance to do
much research on it yet.  Any pointers on where to start looking (web, Axis
dox, etc.)?  Thanks. :)

Why not use the SOAP Header to carry authentication, and define the message
in your WSDL?
If you define a compound 'AuthHeader' type and message that uses it, Visual
Studio .NET should auto gen the stubs.

Jason - A single standard for defining and implementing authentication
does not exist, so it is hard to understand the dialogue between you and
the external company.

It seems like they are requesting a 'login method' to call. The
implementation will vary depending upon how you've baked security into
your infrastructure.   Maybe you just need to provide them with a spec?

Subject: Auth Notification in WSDL?

Is it possible (or even necessary) for a web service to note in the
generated WSDL (http://...?wsdl) that the service requires
authentication?
I'm writing my service in Java, but the client, written by an external
company, will be written in C#, and he's telling me that the stub
generation
based on my current WSDL is not creating the method calls for setting up
authentication.  Am I forgetting to do something in my .wsdd or is he
expecting something that won't be there?  Thanks...
