OK, so if you have a container managed username and password protected web service, and the client classes are generated from the wsdl, if the person implementing the client code knows the usernmame and password, what would be the code for implementing access to the web service?
Also, if anyone knows any articles on axis authentication/security, I would appreciate info on this
Thanks
Tony

as i have understood:
The handler is a thing befor the WS ( not part of it ) and the WSDL describe the WS - so elements only used in handler shouldn't and couldn't be described in Webservice, so you can only tell your opposit what to do in document the webservice in hardware ways ( email, letters, tell him ... ).

/ Hello ppl,
I have got a custom authentication handler. It authenticates the incoming message very well.
My problem is that the generated wsdl has no mention of header elements at all. HOW DO I ACHIEVE THIS?
Do I need to configure the deployment descriptor a little bit more?
Please help.
Thanks in advance.
regards,

/ Hi Tony, If you wanted to use application level security, maybe try using ws-security (encryption and signatures) using handlers in axis. You will find quite a few links on this in the axis mailing list. You may have to design the authentication protocol and then implement this using ws-security. Hope this helps :)
Cheers Sunny

Hi
I asked a question on this subject recently, but I don't think I asked it clearly enough, because the answers I got back, although helpful, didn't quite give me the answer I was after. Now I understand a bit more about authentication I can (hopefully) formulate my question a bit more clearly. In fact, I have a number of questions which revolve around the same subject:
1. I have implemented container level authentication, and have given the client application access to the web service by implementing in this client the following code:
call.setUsername("myUsername"); call.setPassword("myPassword");
This works fine. But how do I implement application level security, instead of just relying on the web container to authenticate the calling client?
2. As stated above, I have implemented container level authentication for the whole of the axis web app, and now I want to use the Axis Servlet to administer the system, I have to provide a username and password but I get an unauthorised error. Here is what I did:
At the command prompt I tried: java org.apache.axis.client.AdminClient -l http://myserver:8080/axis/servlet/AxisServlet list
I also tried: java org.apache.axis.client.AdminClient -l http://myserver:8080/axis/servlet/AxisServlet -u myUsername -p myPassword list
and I got this: Exception (401)Unauthorised
As stated, this is container level security, which I would like to know how to implement. I would also like to know how to implement application level security, that is how to implement security that is part of axis and not just rely on the security features that comes with tomcat
Any insight into any of these issues would be most gratefully received
Tony
