SOAP Endpoint - Unauthorized Errror

[Aditya_S_]

I am trying to invoke a workflow through a SOAP endpoint, using PHP, LiveCycle ES.



Are there any settings I need ....... to make the SOAP endpoint receive

WSDL connection requests ?



Thanks in advance.



The error I get is



SoapFault Object

I found a solution. The "Require callers to authenticate" in the security tab of the Endpoint has "yes" selected. This means that the Endpoint would require the script to authenticate.



Upon changing the selection to "No" it worked successfully.



I would prefer using the authenticate method to invoke the process. I need to find out what parameters I need to pass into the PHP SoapClient for the authentication to be accepted.



Thanks

I believe LiveCycle uses standard WS-Security security. Try invoking the service with SOAPUI testing tool, which provides this capability.

Aditya,



You may also authenticate by using HTTP Basic Authentication.

Ryan and Howard thanks for replying.



Ryan - Can you elaborate a little more. I am new to this part of LiveCycle.

With HTTP Basic Authentication, you can pass the credentials in the HTTP Request rather than in the SOAP Header, which is what you would do if using WS-Security. I am not advocating HTTP Basic Authentication over WS-Security, just pointing out the option.



I am not familiar with the PHP libraries you are using to setup your soap client, so I can't give you exact code to help you here. However, it should be in the area where you are configuring your request to the service. You will pass the username/password that corresponds to your authorized LiveCycle ES user.



Good luck,
