soap4r with digest authentication

[Ryan Q.]

Hello all,

I've been trying to get digest authentication working for soap calls for
two weeks now. All the examples I find seem to be flawed. Here's the
code that I'm using which is right out of the httpclient docs.

require 'httpclient'
require "soap/wsdlDriver"
require 'soap/rpc/driver'
require 'uri'

user = "admin"
pass = "pass"
wsdl = "http://someserver/file.wsdl"

driver = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(wsdl).create_rpc_driver
driver.instance_methods
driver.options["protocol.http.digest_auth"] <<
['http://someserver/SoapServer.php', user, pass]

info = driver.GetSystemInformation('')
puts info

I've changed the server url because I don't want to expose it's
location.

The error I get is:
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/property.rb:269:in `check_lock': cannot add
any key to locked property (TypeError)
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/property.rb:192:in
`local_referent'
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/property.rb:230:in `referent'
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/property.rb:106:in `[]'
from C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Desktop/mxpua.rb:19

The line numbers in mxpua.rb won't match up, but I'm sure you guys see
where it's failing.

Any help with this would be great. I can't understand how all the
examples I find would all be wrong, but they all seem to use the same
process to add the digest auth information to the object.

Thanks for your help.

-Ryan

Anyone? I'd really appreciate the help.

Wild guess: You are using SSL where you shouldn't, or you aren't using
SSL where you should?

Can't be of more help, though.

Phillip,

SSL shouldn't be a factor here. The service I'm trying to access is
clear-text http. Just using digest authentication.

The error that I'm getting in Ruby looks to be that I can't modify the
'driver' object once it's been created.

I'm guessing that there is either a way to pass those options as the
object is getting created or there is a different syntax to modify the
object after it's been created, but before the SOAP call gets sent.

Thanks,
Ryan

Hello,

I have a bit of information, if you are still working on this.

I believe this line

driver.options["protocol.http.digest_auth"]

should really be

driver.options["protocol.http.auth"]

If the server accepts basic authentication, that will be used.
If the server accepts digest authentication, that will be used.

I send authentication information to the server in both cases,
but only the first option (basic) is accepted by the server.

I would like to know if it works for you now?

Are you running into this issue? I am trying to perform basic
authentication and getting the same exception.

 

[Ryan Q.]

Yup, still getting the same error.

This change suggested above didn't help either.

I believe this line

driver.options["protocol.http.digest_auth"]

should really be

driver.options["protocol.http.auth"]

[David Medinets]

Yup, still getting the same error.

I'm collaborating with a Ruby expert tomorrow to see if we can't find a
fix or workaround. I'll update this thread if we succeed.

 

[Ryan Q.]

That would be great. Let me know how it turns out.

I gave up using Ruby because of this. I wanted to move from Perl to Ruby
for SOAP type services, but no love.
