I'm brand new to Soap and SSL. I have used SoapClient functionality built within PHP to successfully call a web service using its WSDL. So, I feel fairly comfortable about that. However, I am now working on a project that calls for me to call a web service and authenticate myself using a digital certificate. I have what I think is the correct certificate(s) from the certificate authority, but have no idea how to install and pass it to the web service I am trying to call. I am using Apache 2 on a Windows machine, and coding in PHP 5. I've read a bit about openssl (which I actually used to create my CSR) and mod_ssl, but beyond that can't find explicit instructions for how to accomplish my task. My server doesn't need to do any certification of any requests, I just need to authenticate my requests to the web service I am trying to call. Is it as simple as populating the "_local_cert" property on my SoapClient object in PHP? Do I have to enable anything in my php.ini or httpd.conf (apache config) files? Does Apache have to be configured with reference to my certificate and keys?
Thanks in advance for the help. I hope what I'm trying to do is fairly basic. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [email protected] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
