Webservice Authentication in Flex Builder

[Former Member]

Hello Friends,

I'm having some trouble configuring a Web Service regarding authentication.

I created a remote function in SE80 and a web service with it, then I went to SOAMANAGER and configured the authentication section with the 'no authentication' option and added the user/pass in the 'ABAP Service User'.

In SICF the service is active and seams OK(the user/pass is set), but every time I try to open the WSDL in the browser I get 'A username and password are being requested by SAP Web Application Server'...

I tested the service with SOAPUI and it also requests the User/Pass for SAP, so it seams that the problem is to enter in SAP WAS and not to access the web service.

Please advice.

Thank you.

Hi Saurabh,

Try this procedure.

Go To SICF T-code, enter your Service name and open it.

Click for Change Mode.

There is 1 tab named - Logon Data.

let the procedure be standard and enter required logon data like user id and password.

Save the Changes and try to test the same in your application.

I hope this should work.

If no success try change some other parameters in same tab and do trial and error.

I have successfully consumed Web Srvc using web service introspection in Flex 3.

Give this a try.

Regards,

Vivek

Hi Vivek Sir,

I have read your previous feeds and they were very helpful.

I have done changes in SICF as per your suggestions but the problem is not in BSP Application the FLEX file(*.swf) I am running always prompts me for username and password whenever webservice is called. I am trying to stop that and pass username and password somehow in FLEX Application but yet am not able to manage it. I have used setRemoteCredentials and also tried attaching username and password in the URL but it is not working for me. The MXML File is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" initialize="initCollections()">
	<mx:Script>
		<![CDATA[
			import mx.controls.Alert;
			import mx.rpc.events.FaultEvent;
			import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
			//import local.fitcons.*;
			private function initCollections():void {
				//webService.useProxy=true;
				//webService.setRemoteCredentials("SAURABH","swordfish");
         			                     webService.ZbspTest967.send();
			}
			private function getResult(event:ResultEvent):void 
			{
				tx1.text=event.result.WVar1.toString();
				tx2.text=event.result.WVar2.toString();
				tx3.text=event.result.WVar3.toString();
			}
			private function handleFault(event:FaultEvent):void 
			{
				tx1.text=event.fault.toString();
				tx2.text=event.fault.toString();
				tx3.text=event.fault.toString();
			}
