I am attempting to configure an inbound service that utilizes the EnsLib.SOAP.GenericService class. This service receives HL7-v3 content wrapped in SOAP requests. Despite reading the documentation on configuring SOAP services, I am still confused.

In my current configuration item "Fr_Centrak_RTLS", I have ‘Enable Standard Requests’ checked, ‘Pool Size’ set to 0, and the port is unspecified.

I have also configured a web application with the following details:

My challenge is determining the correct URL address for sending SOAP traffic to this service. Additionally, I do not want any form of authentication for this setup.

The URL I attempted to test was: http://localhost:52773/csp/soappassthrough/EnsLib.SOAP.GenericService.cls?CfgItem=Fr_Centrak_RTLS which returned an HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error.

Here:

/csp/soappassthrough represents my web application.
Fr_Centrak_RTLS corresponds to the business service within the production that I am trying to direct traffic to.

Please advise me on the correct URL format to send traffic to this inbound service in my production environment.

I think you need to enable/allow Unauthenticated access for Web Applications.

I can see that in Web Application configuration in "Allowed Authentication Methods" the option "Unauthenticated" is not available, this means is not enabled/allowed systemwide.

In Management Portal check System Administration > Security > System Security > Authentication/Web Session Options, and see if "Allow Unauthenticated access" (first option/checkbox) is enabled.

After that, enable the option "Unauthenticated" in the "Allowed Authentication Methods" of the Web Application.

I have configured unauthorized access for our applications as you mentioned and still no luck reaching the service. I think my URL formatting is incorrect.

Regarding the documentation looks like you need to configure the port in the Business Service:

(Configured Web Services exposed using the SOAP Inbound Adapter may also be invoked with this URL parameter but because each configured Inbound Adapter listens on its own TCP/IP port this parameter is just a safety check for them.)

Adding in the port allowed me to hit the service but still returning the 500 error. Here is the error from the service:

Using URL: http://localhost:52773/csp/soappassthrough/EnsLib.SOAP.GenericService.cl...

That was the issue. I did not have a production process specified for my SOAP service. I wanted to test connectivity before building other components like the process operation. Good to know!

Here is what I have now:

And the response via a successful web request: HTTP/1.1 202 Accepted

Thank you for this :)
