Connecting JAVA/AXIS client to .NET WebService with authentication

[Filipe Marcelino]

hi,

after searching for several hours for an answer for my problem, i
decided to post my question.
Well, i have a .net webservice exposing some webmethods; now i want to
have a java/axis client that consume those methods, but using some
kind of authentication.

Theres any simple way to implement some kind of authentication like
https, ssl...
I really need help on this one.

Thanks in advance for your attention,

Hi again,

i managed to create a ssl certificate to my webserver and use it.
Added the webservice under https to my java client and all runs fine.
The webservice, right now is setup to allow anonymous connections and
integrated security. My next step would be to change into basic
authentication, has the webservice is running under ssl there is no
problem the credentials passed in plain text, allowing me to pass
username/password to the webservice.
The problem is: i can't seem to figure it out how to pass username/
password to a .net webservice. Does anyone know how to do it?


Thanks in advance for your attention,

Come on people...none of you ever tried to authenticate a java client
to a .net web service?

There's lots of ways to do authentication.

"basic authentication" suggests authentication at the HTTP layer rather
than in the SOAP layer. Is that really what you want?

Googling for java soap "basic authentication" throws up some results but
I expect their usefulness depends on what web-services tools you are
currently using.

Is WS-Security of no interest to you?
