Authentication failure calling SharePoint Web Service (JAX-WS client) - web-services

I have to call SharePoint 2010 Lists service from a Java client.
I used NetBeans to generate the JAX-WS classes from the WSDL.
And extended java.net.Authenticator to manage the authentication to SharePoint :
static final String user = "XXXXXXXX\\Administrateur"; // your account name
static final String pass = "mypassw"; // your password for the account
static class MyAuthenticator extends Authenticator {
public PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
System.out.println("Feeding username and password for " + getRequestingScheme());
return (new PasswordAuthentication(user, pass.toCharArray()));
}
}
Calling the web service with JAX-WS :
Authenticator.setDefault(new MyAuthenticator());
com.nm.Lists service = new com.nm.Lists();
com.nm.ListsSoap port = service.getListsSoap12();
String pageUrl = "http://xxxxxxx/testPushFile.txt";
String comment = "no comment";
String checkinType = "1";
boolean result = port.checkInFile(pageUrl, comment, checkinType);
I am still getting the error :
Exception in thread "main" javax.xml.ws.WebServiceException: java.io.IOException: Authentication failure
at com.sun.xml.internal.ws.transport.http.client.HttpClientTransport.readResponseCodeAndMessage(HttpClientTransport.java:201)
Because it isn't working I tried :
to set the user without the domain
to set the domain as a system property : System.setProperty("http.auth.ntlm.domain", "XXXXXXXX");
to authenticate "old-fashioned way" :
((BindingProvider) port).getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.USERNAME_PROPERTY, user);
((BindingProvider) port).getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.PASSWORD_PROPERTY, pass);
Any ideas what's the problem with authentication ?
Thanks

I am coming back to give the solution. Here is what I have done to make the Web Service authentication work :
I enabled Basic Authentication in IIS Manager for my SharePoint Site,
I used a user credentials that was registred in Windows Domain

Getting HTTP 401 Error calling MS CRM 365 USING SOAP UI

I am trying to call MSCRM 365 web services using SOAPUI, this is what i have done so far
Downloaded Organization WSDL from my cRM instance
Uploaded in SOAPUI
Added three header parameters - Content-Type, SOAPAction and Accept
Added Username and Password in Request Properties
Whenever I send a request to MSCRM, I get "HTTP ERROR 401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied"
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Nitesh
Since this is Dynamics 365 it does not authenticate using Username / Password. Instead you will need to use OAuth as shown in the link
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg327838.aspx
// TODO Substitute your correct CRM root service address,
string resource = "https://mydomain.crm.dynamics.com";
// TODO Substitute your app registration values that can be obtained after you
// register the app in Active Directory on the Microsoft Azure portal.
string clientId = "e5cf0024-a66a-4f16-85ce-99ba97a24bb2";
string redirectUrl = "http://localhost/SdkSample";
// Authenticate the registered application with Azure Active Directory.
AuthenticationContext authContext =
new AuthenticationContext("https://login.windows.net/common", false);
AuthenticationResult result = authContext.AcquireToken(resource, clientId, new
Uri(redirectUrl));
Use the access token in message requests:
using (HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient())
{
httpClient.Timeout = new TimeSpan(0, 2, 0); // 2 minutes
httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization =
new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", result.AccessToken);
Another options would be to shift from Xrm.Client to Xrm.Tools.Connection. See the example in this site.

Unable to authenticate in accessing Dynamic CRM Online Web Service

I need to utilize Dynamic CRM Data Service Endpoint exposed to get data from one of the methods.
Service(microsoft) account has access to this service.
I've tried authenticating to Discovery Service and Organization Service using sample code provided here [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh675404.aspx] and succeed. However am not able to use same authentication to access data Service as I could find anyway to relate Data Service with the other two. Doing basic authentication using Network Credentials does not work.
I have downloaded the CSDL exposed and added that as service reference to my project, which created an class of web service which extends from DataServiceContext. Am trying to retrieve data of one of the methods using LinQ queries. It returs following error:
"The response payload is a not a valid response payload. Please make sure that the top level element is a valid Atom or JSON element or belongs to 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices' namespace." On capturing using fiddle I realized that on hitting data service URL it is redirected to sign in page 'login.microsoftonline.com/'
Can anybody suggest a way to authenticate the user to access Data Serivce?
Adding code:
//<snippetAuthenticateWithNoHelp1>
IServiceManagement<IDiscoveryService> serviceManagement =
ServiceConfigurationFactory.CreateManagement<IDiscoveryService>(
new Uri(_discoveryServiceAddress));
AuthenticationProviderType endpointType = serviceManagement.AuthenticationType;
// Set the credentials.
AuthenticationCredentials authCredentials = GetCredentials(serviceManagement, endpointType);
String organizationUri = String.Empty;
// Get the discovery service proxy.
using (DiscoveryServiceProxy discoveryProxy =
GetProxy<IDiscoveryService, DiscoveryServiceProxy>(serviceManagement, authCredentials))
{
// Obtain organization information from the Discovery service.
if (discoveryProxy != null)
{
// Obtain information about the organizations that the system user belongs to.
OrganizationDetailCollection orgs = DiscoverOrganizations(discoveryProxy);
// Obtains the Web address (Uri) of the target organization.
organizationUri = FindOrganization(_organizationUniqueName,
orgs.ToArray()).Endpoints[EndpointType.OrganizationService];
}
}
//</snippetAuthenticateWithNoHelp1>
if (!String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(organizationUri))
{
//<snippetAuthenticateWithNoHelp3>
IServiceManagement<IOrganizationService> orgServiceManagement =
ServiceConfigurationFactory.CreateManagement<IOrganizationService>(
new Uri(organizationUri));
// Set the credentials.
AuthenticationCredentials credentials = GetCredentials(orgServiceManagement, endpointType);
// Get the organization service proxy.
using (OrganizationServiceProxy organizationProxy =
GetProxy<IOrganizationService, OrganizationServiceProxy>(orgServiceManagement, credentials))
{
// This statement is required to enable early-bound type support.
organizationProxy.EnableProxyTypes();
// Now make an SDK call with the organization service proxy.
// Display information about the logged on user.
Guid userid = ((WhoAmIResponse)organizationProxy.Execute(
new WhoAmIRequest())).UserId;
SystemUser systemUser = organizationProxy.Retrieve("systemuser", userid,
new ColumnSet(new string[] { "firstname", "lastname" })).ToEntity<SystemUser>();
Console.WriteLine("Logged on user is {0} {1}.",
systemUser.FirstName, systemUser.LastName);
Uri x = new Uri("https://<MyOrgainzationName>.crm.dynamics.com/XRMServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc/");
MyOrgainzationContext saContext = new MyOrgainzationContext(x);
NetworkCredential nc = new NetworkCredential();
nc.UserName = "*****#microsoft.com";
nc.Password = "********";
saContext.Credentials = nc;
var query_where3 = from c in saContext.new_productSet
select new
{
ProductStatus = c.new_ProductStatus,
LineofBusiness = c.new_LineofBusiness
};
var temp = saContext.Entities;
foreach (var c in query_where3)
{
System.Console.WriteLine("ProductStatus: " +
c.ProductStatus +
"\t\t\t" +
"LineofBusiness: " +
c.LineofBusiness);
}
}
//</snippetAuthenticateWithNoHelp3>
}
MyOrganizationContext is the context class created on adding CSDL file exposed at service endpoints
Have a look at the CRM Web Api Preview: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics/crm/webapipreview.aspx. You can call this endpoint from outside xRM and you can authenticate with OAuth 2.0.

SharePoint Custom Webservice

I have a Custom SharePoint webservice for performing certain actions. User credentials are passed via Soap Header. The credentials reach the webservice without any problem.
Issue:
The following code returns "Unauthorized Error" if I did not make the webservice call with user credentials.
WebService Method
[WebMethod(Description = "Test Credentials")]
[SoapDocumentMethod(Binding = "SPService")]
[SoapHeader("Authen")]
public string[] TestCredentials(string siteURL)
{
string[] credentials = new string[3];
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(siteURL))
{
using (SPWeb spW = site.OpenWeb())
{
credentials[0] = Authen.CallingUserName;
credentials[1] = Authen.CallingUserPwd;
credentials[2] = siteURL;
}
}
return credentials;
}
Client Code
SPService.SPService spS = new SPService.SPService();//Webservice class
SPService.UserAuth ua = new SPService.UserAuth(); //Soap Header class
ua.CallingUserName = UserName; // User name
ua.CallingUserPwd = Password; // Password for the Username
spS.UserAuthValue = ua; // assigning the credential to the SoapHeader.
//System.Net.NetworkCredential nc = new NetworkCredential(UName, pwd, Domain);
//spS.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(UName, pwd, Domain);
string[] str = new string[3];
str = spS.TestCredentials(txt_URL.Text,"Shared Documents");
When the Network credential is commented out I get the The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized. error. If the credential is used then the webservice returns the expected value.
Requirement of the Custom WebService is to use WS-Security to pass the Login credentials and use the same to login into the SharePoint site.
Some help would be useful. Kindly let me know if you need more detail regarding this.
The SPSite constructor will require authentication to intialise correctly as it is accessing Sharepoint. You can instantiate it using credentials you have constructed before hand in a similar manner to what is described here

Creating client for web service

I have deployed a simple hello service in jboss server. I can view the wsdl file. Can someone help me with the client side. I mean how to access this service? Is there any way to access from web browser? Method deployed is
#WebMethod
public String greet( #WebParam(name = "name")
String name )
{
return "Hello" + name;
}
Try to know what is the wsdl url to access the service which you have just exposed. It might most probably be something like "http://localhost: < port-number >/ems-ejb/?wsdl"
If you type the same in the browser, you should be able to see the wsdl file (page with full of xml tags).
Once done, follow the steps provided here
Example on how to call the method once client stub is generated
String endpoint = "your wsdl url";
GreetImplServiceLocator objGreetImplServiceLocator = new GreetImplServiceLocator();
java.net.URL url = new java.net.URL(endpoint);
GreetIntf objGreetIntf = objGreetImplServiceLocator.getFaultImplPort(url);
String greetings=objFaultIntf.greet("stackoverflow");

Netbeans Basic Http Auth Jax-WS

how can I access a webservice through a basic http authentification? I am using the netbeans built in webservice client features. But when I try to access the webservice, I get an exception with a 401 auth failed error message.
How can I pass the right username and password?
Thank you!
You could use BindingProvider or WSBindingProvider class to access a Web Service through a basic http authentification.
The code is as follows.
XxxService service = new XxxService();
Xxx port = service.getXxxPort();
Map<String, Object> reqContext = ((BindingProvider)port).getRequestContext();
reqContext.put(BindingProvider.USERNAME_PROPERTY, "username");
reqContext.put(BindingProvider.PASSWORD_PROPERTY, "password");
You can also provide your own Authenticator. That way it will work even if the WDSL itself is protected by basic HTTP authentication.
#WebServiceRef(wsdlLocation = "https://laka/sito?wsdl")
static XxxService service;
public static void main(String[] args) {
Authenticator.setDefault(new Authenticator() {
#Override
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
return new PasswordAuthentication("user", "password".toCharArray());
}
});
service = new XxxService();
Xxx port = service.getXxxPort();
// invoke webservice and print response
XxxResponse resp = port.foo();
System.out.println(resp.toString());
}
