Hi Team, I write to this mailing list as I found these email addresses on the Apache web site. The question is related to interaction between a Java web service hosted on a Apache Axis 2 web service framework and a .NET client written using WCF( .NET framework 3.5).
The web service expects the clients to perform a Basic HTTP authentication over SSL (HTTPS). The service has been successfully deployed and I was successfully able to consume the WSDL in .NET to create a .NET proxy. The trouble begins here. I have set the user name and password to communicate with the web service. Now as I call the methods exposed by the Axis-2 web service, the call fails with an "Authentication Failure". I have done a significant amount of googling to understand the problem, some blogs say that Axis-2 web service needs the client to authenticate itself for every request. If this statement is correct, then what is the exact security header that I need to inject in SOAP messages so as the authentication succeeds. If any of you have any sample implementation or some pointers related to this issue, please do let me know. Thanks to all in advance for their help. Regards Prahalad
