Re: Axis2/C - USERNAME and PASSWORD
Hi Michael,
The constants AXIS2_USER_NAME and AXIS2_PASSWORD defined in
axis2_const.h are not in use. If you want Basic http Authentication you
can use Axis2/c with Apache. There is a httpd module for this .Please
see the section Deploying with Apache Http Server in the Axis2/C
mannual.
And Rampart/C also support soap message level Username and Password
support with http.

Just done, AXIS2C-656. I, and Micheal I suppose, thank you all in
advance if you could implement it as soon as you can.
Cheers,
Stefano

AFAIK, it is not implemented in Axis2/C. BTW if you have any
requirement, did you ask on mailing list or did you raise a jira for a
new feature. (If you have already done it please point us to there we
could work on that).

Yes, you almost there :)

At least you could try and send us a patch. We always welcome new
contributions. Don't worry about integrate in elegant and consistent
way. Because before committing your patch into the trunk one of the
developer will review. I'm sure that if you could understand up to
this point you could do the rest :).
I agree that we could add it quite easily, the thing is that without
any user requirements there is no point of doing it. (that is what I
believe). Until Michel talk about HTTP Basic Authentication , I didn't
see any thread relative to that subject (I might miss some of the
mails, please bear with me if I missed some). If there is a particular
Jira issue , there is a high possibility to fix it before a
release. *High possibility* means we have to do high priority things
first :)
thanks,
Dinesh

Dear Micheal,
I'll have the same problem of yours very soon, since I need HTTP basic
authentication, but it looks like not implemented for HTTP clients. If
I'm wrong, I strongly welcome everybody to correct me :-) and point me
out where to specify username and password.
In 1.0.0 sources, looking in http_sender.c, where the HTTP request is
built, you can find an axis2_http_sender_util_add_header call for every
item the clients wants to put in the HTTP request header.
According to HTTP, basic authentication is implemented by a client using
the "Authorization" header, in the following way:
Authorization: Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==
The string "Authorization" is mapped to C constant
AXIS2_HTTP_HEADER_AUTHORIZATION in axis2_http_transport.h, but looks
like not used by any file, and there's no corresponding
axis2_http_sender_util_add_header anywhere :-(
Yeah, the power of open source ... the power of reverse engineering :-)
... the power of "looks like I'll have to implement it by myself" :-(
Adding the header line looks like relatively easy, apart from the
username and password encryption, but I don't know how integrate the
thing in the Axis' framework correctly and in an elegant and consistent way.
Cheers,
Stefano

Hey Manjula,
My server is already set up to use basic http authentication using Axis1
(Java) and Websphere Application Server. It's in my C client in which I
need to provide my credentials, but cannot seem to figure out how. Is
there a way to manually add the necessary http headers to the request?
Thanks,
Mike
