             Summary: Basic Auth credentials are missing in request
                 Key: AXIS2-6055
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-6055
             Project: Axis2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: TCP transport
    Affects Versions: 1.8.0
            Reporter: Markus I.


There is a changed behaviour between Axis2 1.7 and Axis2 1.8 when using the preemptive authentication in the HttpTransportPropertiesImpl.Authenticator.

In Axis2 1.7 following code was used to achive this behaviour:
 _HttpTransportPropertiesImpl.Authenticator auth = new HttpTransportPropertiesImpl.Authenticator();_
 _List<String> authpref = new ArrayList<>();_
 _authpref.add(AuthPolicy.BASIC);_
 _auth.setAuthSchemes(authpref);_
 _auth.setUsername("testUser");_
 _auth.setPassword("testUserPassword");_
 _auth.setPreemptiveAuthentication(true);_
 _msgContext.setProperty(org.apache.axis2.transport.http.HTTPConstants.AUTHENTICATE, auth); //msgContext = org.apache.axis2.context.MessageContext_

Since Axis2 1.8 the code above does not work anymore, because org.apache.axis2.transport.http.HTTPAuthenticator.getPreemptiveAuthentication() is not called anymore by the AXIS implementation. Is this an intended behaviour or a bug? We are using at the moment Axis2 1.8.2.

The current workaround for us is to set the header directly as shown in following example:
  _List<NamedValue> l = new ArrayList<>();_
 _String credentials = "testUser:testUserPassword";_
 _l.add(new NamedValue(org.apache.axis2.kernel.http.HTTPConstants.HEADER_AUTHORIZATION, "Basic " + Base64.encode(credentials.getBytes())));_
 _msgContext.setProperty(org.apache.axis2.kernel.http.HTTPConstants.HTTP_HEADERS, l); //msgContext = org.apache.axis2.context.MessageContext_
