soap4r with digest authentication
Ryan Q.
I've been trying to get digest authentication working for soap calls for
two weeks now. All the examples I find seem to be flawed. Here's the
code that I'm using which is right out of the httpclient docs.
require 'httpclient'
require "soap/wsdlDriver"
require 'soap/rpc/driver'
require 'uri'
user = "admin"
pass = "pass"
wsdl = "http://someserver/file.wsdl"
driver = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(wsdl).create_rpc_driver
driver.instance_methods
driver.options["protocol.http.digest_auth"] <<
['http://someserver/SoapServer.php', user, pass]
info = driver.GetSystemInformation('')
puts info
I've changed the server url because I don't want to expose it's
location.
The error I get is:
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/property.rb:269:in `check_lock': cannot add
any key to locked property (TypeError)
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/property.rb:192:in
`local_referent'
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/property.rb:230:in `referent'
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/property.rb:106:in `[]'
from C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Desktop/mxpua.rb:19
The line numbers in mxpua.rb won't match up, but I'm sure you guys see
where it's failing.
Any help with this would be great. I can't understand how all the
examples I find would all be wrong, but they all seem to use the same
process to add the digest auth information to the object.
Thanks for your help.

Wild guess: You are using SSL where you shouldn't, or you aren't using
SSL where you should?
Can't be of more help, though.

SSL shouldn't be a factor here. The service I'm trying to access is
clear-text http. Just using digest authentication.
The error that I'm getting in Ruby looks to be that I can't modify the
'driver' object once it's been created.
I'm guessing that there is either a way to pass those options as the
object is getting created or there is a different syntax to modify the
object after it's been created, but before the SOAP call gets sent.
Thanks,

I have a bit of information, if you are still working on this.
I believe this line
>>driver.options["protocol.http.digest_auth"]
should really be
>>driver.options["protocol.http.auth"]
If the server accepts basic authentication, that will be used.
If the server accepts digest authentication, that will be used.
I send authentication information to the server in both cases,
but only the first option (basic) is accepted by the server.
I would like to know if it works for you now?

Are you running into this issue? I am trying to perform basic
authentication and getting the same exception.

This change suggested above didn't help either.
I believe this line
>>driver.options["protocol.http.digest_auth"]
should really be
>>driver.options["protocol.http.auth"]

I gave up using Ruby because of this. I wanted to move from Perl to Ruby
for SOAP type services, but no love.

I'm collaborating with a Ruby expert tomorrow to see if we can't find a
fix or workaround. I'll update this thread if we succeed.
