Hi Sami,

Same here.

Actually I am using the link which comes as output in URL field when we test using HTTP client.

The same link I am using in a java code to connect which is giving me 401 error .

Also the same link when i copy paste in browser give same 401 error.

This scenario used to work in PI 7.0 but now we migrated it to PI 7.1.

Hi,

I hope you are using PI 7.1 access to test the http url.

Can you please share the format of URL that you are testing?

The link is

http://<host>:<port>/sap/xi/adapter_plain?namespace=http%3A//rediff/ProjectSTAR/Vendor&interface=SI_...

This link when I copy paste in browser leads to a login popup asking for credentials.

When I enter the proper credentials , It gives 401 error .

Same happens when I use it in a Java code for HTTP connection.

Check the follwoing sap note. I may be helpful:-

Hi Fariha,

I suggest you use a Network packet Sniffer / Grabber and analyze the HTTP Request from the Java Program as well as the Tester and Browser. If you spot a difference in the Request (which i am sure you will), then we can proceed from there.

Refer the below Weblog for more details:

You know the difference between HTTP GET and HTTP POST?

[FarihaKazi]

Hi Stefan,

My HTTP Client uses HTTP POST method and is able to connect through.

Also my Java code is set to use same POST method but still 401.

Issue resolved.

My password was having character '#' which requires escaping to %23..
