Hello Community, 

I want to secure a SOAP Webservice (an EnsLib.SOAP.Service one, if that matters) adding a SSL/Username Policy to it. As im not sure how detailed my request here should get, ill try giving a detailed as-is description of my setup, what I've tried, how I tried to test the connection and what problems including some logs I ran into. 

As a small foreword: I'm pretty new to the whole security aspect of intersystems and soap itself. 

System:

I've tried it on 2 different systems with pretty much the same result:

Hi guys,

Couple days ago, a customer approached me with the wish to enhance their existing legacy application, that uses SOAP (Web)Services so it shares the same authorization with their new application API based on REST. As their new application uses OAuth2, the challenge was clear; how to pass access token with SOAP request to the server.

After spending some time on Google, it turned out, that one of possible ways of doing so was adding an extra header element to the SOAP envelope and then making sure the WebService implementation does what is needed to validate the access token.

Question Leon Duveen · Feb 12, 2020

I am using the SOAP Wizard in Studio to try to read in a WSDL file that is physically on our HealthShare server.    I keep getting the same error:

ERROR #6159: Although HTTPS is turned on no SSLConfiguration is specified so unable to make an HTTPS connection.

As I am not trying to connect via HTTP ( and I don't see anywhere to add an SSL connection), I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

Any suggestions & solutions gratefully accepted.

I used the soap wizard to create a web client based on the wsdl.  I was able to get a valid response back, and now it looks like the error is in decrypting the soap message response "inbound"

ERROR #6284: Security header error: SecurityTokenUnavailable.

Working on a project to call a web service and the soap header has custom header elements that need to be signed. i reviewed the %soap.inc and didn't see any appropriate macro  

EBS and IDP elements need to be signed

here's a provided header sample

this a sample output that I created.

my first pass was $$$SOAPWSIncludeDefault+$$$SOAPWSIncludeAddressing

I am trying to use the %ListOfDataTypes functionality, but am hitting a limit of 50 characters for each entry, when being used in a Web Service.  Is there a way to increase the number of characters that can be used in the %ListOfDataTypes through a web service?

In the first article I started discussing RESTForms - REST API for your persistent classes. We talked about basic features, now, I'd like to discuss advanced features - mainly queries capabilites:

  • Basic queries
  • Query arguments
  • Custom queries

Queries

Queries allow getting slices of data, based on arbitrary criteria. There are two query types in RESTForms:

  • Basic queries work for all RESTForms classes once defined and they differ only by the field list
  • Custom queries work only for the classes in which they are specified and available, but the developer has full access to query text

Question Roberto Cahanap · Nov 22, 2019

We have a SOAP web service that we call to retrieve a stream of a PDF file. The web service is written by another group in our company (not a Cache group). We are running into one issue where it seems that the PDF is too big and when it is sent to us we get this "ERROR #6301: SAX XML Parser Error: <STORE>". The stream is about 8mb. This is the first time that we have encountered this issue.

We have a WRC ticket open about this but doing some research, we found that if we increase the $ZSTORAGE then we no longer get this error when we call the web service for this 8mb file.

Hi There

I've created a new WebClient using Studio Addon-s Soap Wizard. 

I've tried to send a soap request using  InvokeMethod.

However the Body comes empty   <soapenv:Body></soapenv:Body>

I needed it to be 

   <soapenv:Body>
      <ns:Ping/>
   </soapenv:Body>

Question Yone Moreno · Oct 11, 2019

I have the following message when I try to import a WSDL to generate a SOAP service:

ERROR #5319: The type of a property of a class series cannot be recurring: SeleneHL7Service.hl71.escapeType:escape
  > ERROR #5030: Error occurred while compiling SeleneHL7Service.hl71.escapeType class

I have found in the documentation:

5319 The type of a property in a serial class cannot be recursive: %1

 

What means?

How could fix it?

I am trying to return a stream soap response using web services I can call my web service supply it with a xml string which works fine . I then work on that XML and try to return  a Stream but all works in the production when my service receives the stream after I get the error  as if its trying to copy stream to a variable and I am confused as to where that operation happens.

The errors I am getting 
ERROR <Ens>ErrException: <METHOD DOES NOT EXIST>zCopyFrom+28^%Stream.TmpCharacter.1 *Rewind

and here is the stack trace in case I am missing something

Question Kristina Roberts · Sep 16, 2019

Currently one of our applications, coded in Cache, performs web service API calls out to one of our vendors.   We now need to be able to send a Client ID in the portion of the Soap envelope.  

I  think I have a clue of what I need to do but not 100% sure.  We were thinking we could use the method %SOAP.WebClient.SetHttpHeader(field name, value) but when I have tired using this method and looked at the Soap log to see what is sent, the field is never showing.  I realized I could be setting the wrong object using the method.

 Pre-requisite - Basic knowledge of ENSEMBLE and ObjectScript

My both previous sessions were related to OBJECTSCRIPT.
This time, we are going to add a flavour Ensemble/Healthshare,
to be informative and fast.

In this session we are going to discuss about - 
"Informative and Fast WEB API VIA ObjectScript and Ensemble/HealthShare"

Web API can be REST or SOAP. We will taking example of SOAP in this session.
However, whatever I demonstrate today, will also be applicable for REST.

Question Basem Yousef · Jul 19, 2019

Greetings,

We need to communicate with a vendor through web services in a way that those web services pull the queued messages from Ensemble instead of Ensemble pushing messages to a web service. 

Is this possible? if yes, will we loose the messages sessions, status, and tracking information?

Your help is much appreciated.

Question Bernard Buhagiar · Jun 28, 2019

Hello everyone,

Anyone can help me please. We use SOAP web service with public methods and have many instances of these classes, all work fine. We would like to create a new SOAP web service but for internal usage only, meaning not available to the public. The purpose of this is for communication between different servers internally.

We thought of having the methods to be Internal, WebMethod instead of just WebMethod.

Any suggestions?

Regards

Ben

Hello,

I have a very simple web service that I'd like to secure via SAML Authorization with X.509 Certificates. I am, however struggling with documentation and my lack of cryptographic skills. (I do this just for educational purposes now, but need to use it in the future)

Does anyone have an example that shows how to construct a SOAP Client with adding all necessary security headers manually or point me to a decent learning resource?

Thank you very much!

Hi

We have just completed a migration of a test environment from Ensemble 2012 to Ensemble 2017 on a new server. This is the last in a series of migrations but the first to encounter this particular issue. All web clients making SOAP requests to a particular external web service are receiving a fault that states:

The SOAP action specified on the message, '', does not match the HTTP SOAP Action, 'http://<expected target service action follows here>'.
