Hello Dies,

thanks for your answer, but I need to enable HTTP Basic Authentication on the server side. Axis should restrict user access according to the user.lst file. Along with SSL encryption the security level is hopefully sufficient.
Maybe you can help me with it, too?

kind regards
Artur

Hello Artur,

On the client side you do: (from JAX-RPC1.1 spec)

StockQuoteProvider_Stub sqp = // ... get to the stub;
sqp._setProperty(Stub.USERNAME_PROPERTY, "<username>");
sqp._setProperty(Stub.PASSWORD_PROPERTY, "<password>");
float quote = sqp.getLastTradePrice("ACME");

Regards,
Dies

Hello,

searching the whole day for a guide/doc how to enable HTTP Basic authentication, I stumbled over the axis security doc (http://ws.apache.org/axis/java/security.html) with the following notice:

"Clients can authenticate themselves with client certificates, or HTTP basic authentication. The latter is too weak to be trustable on a non-encrypted channel, but works over HTTPS. The MessageContext class will be configured with the username and password of the sender when SOAP messages are posted to the endpoint;"

But I can't find any document how to enable the basic authentication. Can please someone point me to the altered configuration I have to provide to get it working?

Thanks a lot!
Kind regards
Artur Kraft

PS: Sorry for the "double post"

In a way it was good that you did, I was too busy when I got the first one this afternoon and deleted it :)
