SOAP, How to add EncodingType attribute in Nonce element?

[Don]

Hello,

I need to make a soap call to a web service which requires the EncodingType in the Nonce.

So the correct soap message will have the Nonce element like this:

......

<wsse:Nonce EncodingType="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-soap-message-security-1.0#Base64Binary">SomeHashValue</wsse:Nonce>

......

But in my Savon client, I don't know how to add that attribute in the Nonce element.

My code here:

......

client = Savon.client do

  wsdl.endpoint = "http://webservicehost/TestWebService"

  wsdl.namespace = "namespace"

  wsse.credentials "username", "password"

  wsse.digest = "true"

end

client.request :get_service do |soap|

  soap.input = [ 

    "GetService", 

    { "xmlns" => "namespace" } 

  ]

  soap.body = {

    "locale" => "en_US",

    "serviceID" => '123'

  } 

end

......

and the Nonce in the generated SOAP message is like:

......

<wsse:Nonce>SomeHashValue</wsse:Nonce>

......

So my question is, how to add the attribute EncodingType to the Nonce element, without changing/removing the SomeHashValue in the Nonce element?

I did some google and couldn't find any answer or solution directly to my problem. 

One thing I found is this, to add an attribute to the Header: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9004841/how-do-i-add-an-attribute-to-a-soap-header-with-savon

But I think I have a different case. I really hope I can solve this problem in Savon. Savon is very easy to use and if possible I don't want to use other web service "gem".

Thanks!

Hi Don,

Try

I've had success modifying the `gems\akami-1.2.1\lib\akami\wsse.rb` file's `def wsse_username_token` method.

I don't know the best way but this does work, merely add to the `:attributes!`.

Before:

    :attributes! => { "wsse:Password" => { "Type" => PASSWORD_DIGEST_URI } }

After:

    :attributes! => { "wsse:Password" => { "Type" => PASSWORD_DIGEST_URI }, "wsse:Nonce" => { "EncodingType" => 'http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-soap-message-security-1.0#Base64Binary'} }
