Re: CXF Proxy (Consumer to Provider Bridge) with http basic auth

[Freeman Fang]

Hi,

You can add busCfg attribute (let's say busCfg="basic_auth.xml") for 
your cxf bc provider xbean,
and your basic_auth.xml should be like
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xmlns:sec="http://cxf.apache.org/configuration/security";
xmlns:http="http://cxf.apache.org/transports/http/configuration";
xmlns:jaxws="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxws";
xsi:schemaLocation="
           http://cxf.apache.org/configuration/security
              http://cxf.apache.org/schemas/configuration/security.xsd
         http://cxf.apache.org/transports/http/configuration
            http://cxf.apache.org/schemas/configuration/http-conf.xsd
         http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
            
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.0.xsd";>

 <http:conduit name="{your_name_space}your_endpoint_name.http-conduit">
             <http:authorization>
        <sec:UserName>Betty</sec:UserName>
        <sec:Password>password</sec:Password>
     </http:authorization>

 </http:conduit>

</beans>

You can get more details about the http transport configuration from [1]

Hi,

we need to proxy a webservice with smx. No problem with this, since
enough examples are given.  :)
But our 3rd party webservice requires http-basic auth and we are
struggeling in configuring smx to proxy the authentication. Is there a
way to do so? If not, is it possible to proxy ws-security headers?

We tried to use cxf and http based provider/consumer setup and both 
failed.

Thanks for any hint
