How to invoke secure Rest service in SOA 12c(Basic Auth)

1835981

Hi,

I have a requirement to invoke a secure basic auth rest service in SOA. Apart from using CSF key is there any other way like sending in the headers?

If you attach the HTTP Basic Auth Over SSL Client Policy, OWSM will send in the headers for you... are you having problems with OWSM configuration?

Cheers,

Hi!

You can set authorization header in the following property: rest.binding.http.Authorization

Value shoud be "Basic <username:password in base64>"

I added this property. But do I need to add any OWSM policies as well?

Hi Vlad,

I cannot make a call by using just OWSM policies. Headers are not going through.

Thanks.

Hi,

How do you know the headers are not going through? Is it returning HTTP 403 or 407 error?

Policy oracle/wss_http_token_client_policy should send HTTP Authorization header as Authorization: <type> <credentials>

For example

Authorization: Basic YWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuc2VzYW1l

Where YWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuc2VzYW1l is the base64 encoded of aladdin:opensesame
