Hello, trying to figure out how to configure an Ensemble web service to use HTTP Basic authentication. I have a web service client that will not be able to send SOAP headers. I did not see that option at all in the documentation. thanks

Here's what I do:

s authorization64 = $G(pInput.Attributes("authorization"))
// ? valid
if ($PIECE(authorization64," ",1) '= "Basic"){
s Status = ##class(%SYSTEM.Status).Error(5001, "Missing basic http authentication")
Throw ##class(%Exception.StatusException).CreateFromStatus(Status)
}
// basic http authentication looks like this: "Basic amFhcDphYXA="
s authorization = $System.Encryption.Base64Decode($PIECE(authorization64," ",2))
// decoded it looks like this: "username:password"
s username = $PIECE(authorization,":",1)
s password = $PIECE(authorization,":",2)

Hi Mike.

Have you already tried setting up a Credentials record (with username and password paid via Ensemble > Configure > Credentials), and then specifying the credentials record which will be a setting in the Ensemble business operation ?

This has worked form me before with Web services that require basic authentication.

Hi Mike

Have you tried setting up a Credentials record with username and password pair in Ensemble (Configure>Credentials) - then specifying the credentials name in Settings for the Ensemble u business operation ?

This has worked for me before for Web services that require basic authentication.

Thanks Steve. in this case Ensemble is hosting the web service, and my client is a JCAPS app. But I did figure out how to have JCAPS send the SOAP hdr.
