SOAPProxy and basic authentication

fryland Dec 15, 2010 2:46 PM

From the quickstart webservice_proxy_security I'm able to proxy a https web service requiring basic authentication.

However, I don't want the proxy to require https and basic authentication. I'm able to expose it as http, but i'm still required to do authentication in the proxy client.

How can I inject the credentials (user/password) the SOAPProxy action or its httpclient properties?

Nobody knows if it's possible to hide the basic authentication in the proxy layer using SOAPProxy? Any tips would be appreciated

Thanks.

Hi,

The SOAPProxy is basicly a hidden HttpRouter which has the capacity to refer to a keystore. You can find some examples on how to put SSL on a HttpRouter in the JBossWiki.

The SSL/keystore part was never an issue, only the basic authentication part. Even though I had 'Client Credentials Required' set to false, the supplied credentials in the http client properties file didn't work. However, when I commented out/removed authscope-realm (not required parameter), it worked.
