Trouble configuring Basic Authentication for SOAP Web Service in IRIS

#InterSystems IRIS for Health #Authentication #SOAP #Web Gateway

Hi everyone,

I’ve configured an integration scenario in InterSystems IRIS with a Business Service exposed as a SOAP web service. Everything works correctly when the web application allows unauthenticated access.

However, when I switch the web application to require Basic Authentication, I’m unable to get it working properly. I have configured a resource and assigned it to both the web application and the user I’m using for the request, but I consistently get login failures (visible in the audit log).

Could someone clarify how to properly configure Basic Authentication for a SOAP web service in IRIS, or point me to the relevant documentation?

Thanks in advance.

What is the audit log saying is the reason for the authentication failure?

Hi David,

I’m attaching a screenshot of the audit log showing the authentication failure.

I’ve also tried different authentication approaches from SOAP UI:

  • Using Outgoing WS-Security Configurations with a UsernameToken
  • Setting use/pas directly in the request properties (Basic Auth)

However, I’m still getting login failures in all cases.

Thanks.

Hi,

I’ve managed to resolve the issue.

After restarting SOAP UI, the Outgoing WS-Security configuration became selectable in the request authentication settings, which was not available before.

I’ve also tested the service from other integration engines using WS-Security UsernameToken and it works correctly.

Thanks for your help.
