RE: Calling a secure Axis web service with .net client

[Vidyanand Murunikkara]

Hi thomas
 
I was doing exactly what you had suggested in your mail. But then for
some reason the username and password are not being sent as an header.
The only way i could add a header was to override the GetWebRequest()
method and then add any header i wanted to add. But i guess there must
be some way to do it directly without taking such pain.
 
Do you think I might be missing something here ?
 
Thanks for your time.

        Have a look to what I sent earlier in the mailing list but
something like that should do it (FirstServiceService is the C#
generated for my service when I do the add web reference):


                                        FirstService.FirstServiceService
firstService = new FirstService.FirstServiceService ();

                                        firstService.Url =
FIRST_SERVICE_END_POINT_URL; 
                        // I am not 100% since documentation is not very
clear, but it seems that without the 
                        // PreAuthenticate, every operation call will
always be two HTTP requests: one without 
                        // the Authentication header (then a
WWW-Authenticate header is returned in the access 
                        // denied), then a second request with the
Authentication header. I was hoping that this 
                        // will also do the trick to be able to use the
unauthenticatedIdentity of JBoss, but the 
                        // first request still expect the
WWW-Authenticate header before sending the Authentication 
                        // one. 
                                        firstService.PreAuthenticate =
true; 
                                        firstService.Credentials = new
NetworkCredential (userName, userPassword);

        HI 

        i have a Web service running using Axis. I have turned on HTTP
Authentication for this. So the only way i can access this service(
verified using some handlers ) is to have a username and password .

        If i have a client generated using axis then in the Client stub
i can set the Username and password. 

        But does anyone know how i can access this web service from a
.net client. I havent been able to figure out a way to set the username
and password headers required for the web service in .net. ( I am using
C# clients ).

        Thanks for looking into this. 
        Vidyanand.
