HTTP Authentication

Squiz Matrix Support

Hello,


I'm want to use HTTP Authentication with SOAP… I'm starting with basic HTTP Authentication… I've enabled it "Accept HTTP Authentication" in the System Configuration screen. I've gone to "/?USE_HTTP_LOGIN=1"… I get the popup but I cannot login. It always fails… do I need to do anything else??



The main effort is to be able to go "/_web_services/soap-server?WSDL&USE_HTTP_LOGIN=1"… before I start troubleshooting the above can anyone confirm that they've got HTTP Auth + SOAP working???



Thanks.

I have the SOAP LoginUser function working. But I am thinking that is not what you mean.

Hmmm. I wasn't aware of LoginUser, it seems better.


I just tried to do a LoginUser call followed by CreateAsset and my response was "Unable to create asset" (however without the call I get "Unable to Create link: Cannot create link from "X" (# Y) to "X #Y" (# Y) - no write permission for either asset [SYS0301]". Do I need to do anything else??



What permissions do I need on the SOAP Server?? Ie on the SOAP Server asset and on the Create Location.



Thanks.

It looks like I cannot use HTTP Authentication. If I add "&USE_HTTP_AUTH=1" the WSDL dies.



Any info on the LoginUser??

Looks like I was completely over engineering the problem :frowning:



Solution :slight_smile:


    
    <?php
            $oSoap = new Zend_Soap_Client('http://domain.com/_web_services/soap-server?WSDL', array(
                        'cache_wsdl' => 'false',
                        'login' => 'xxx',
                        'password' => 'xxx'
                    ));

Glad you figured it out.
