Why would Basic Auth not work with my WCF client to Java SOAP Web Service?
- by orj
I have a Java based web service that requires basic authentication to communicate with it. If I type the WSDL url into my browser I'm prompted for Basic Auth. Which I can get by entering the correct credentials.
However using my WCF client doesn't work.
I construct my WCF client like this:
var binding = new BasicHttpBinding
{
MaxReceivedMessageSize = 2048 * 10240,
Security = {
Mode = BasicHttpSecurityMode.TransportCredentialOnly,
Transport = {
ClientCredentialType = HttpClientCredentialType.Basic,
Realm = "MYREALM",
ProxyCredentialType = HttpProxyCredentialType.None
},
Message = {
ClientCredentialType = BasicHttpMessageCredentialType.UserName,
AlgorithmSuite = SecurityAlgorithmSuite.Default
}
}
};
var client = new WebServiceClient(binding, endpoint);
client.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = username;
client.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = password;
client.DoWebServiceMethod();
I get the following exception.
System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.
at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()
at System.ServiceModel.Channels.HttpChannelFactory.HttpRequestChannel.HttpChannelRequest.WaitForReply(TimeSpan timeout)
System.ServiceModel.Security.MessageSecurityException: The HTTP request is unauthorized with client authentication scheme 'Basic'. The authentication header received from the server was 'Basic realm="MYREALM"'.
From what I can tell I'm doing things right. Where am I going wrong?
