The problem is: I need to connect to a soap web service; generated by java code; using ASP.Net client via C# through MS Visual Studio 2013.
Try 1, The usual way:
I have added a web service reference using the wsdl and by assigning the credentials like:
Credentials.Username.Username = "test";
Credentials.Password.Password = "test";
When executing, the following exception is being encountered:
The login information is missing!
Try 2:
I have searched for similar problems like:
how-to-go-from-wsdl-soap-request-envelope-in-c-sharp
Dynamic-Proxy-Creation-Using-C-Emit
c# - Client to send SOAP request and received response
I had chosen to generate a proxy class using the wsdl tool, then added the header attribute, but I have found the following note from Microsoft:
Note: If the Web service defines the member variables representing the SOAP headers of type SoapHeader or SoapUnknownHeader instead of a class deriving from SoapHeader, a proxy class will not have any information about that SOAP header.
Try 3: I have tried to change the service model in the client web.config:
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="CallingCardServicePortBinding">
<security mode="TransportWithMessageCredential" >
<message clientCredentialType="UserName"/>
</security>
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
Then added the credentials like the first try, but the following error appears:
MustUnderstand headers:[{http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd}Security] are not understood
So, now I don't know what to do ! I have no control over the web service and I need to build a client that understands it.
Help Please!
The Soap Request template is the following:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ser="...">
<soapenv:Header>
<credentials>
<userName>someUserName</userName>
<password>somePassword</password>
</credentials>
</soapenv:Header>
<soapenv:Body>
<ser:someRequest>
.......
.......
.......
</ser:someRequest>
