Send Username and Password to .net Web Service using Spring .NET

[elcheicon]

I am developing a .net application using Web Services, and the application is consuming them using Spring.Net WebServiceProxyFactory.

I need to send to the web service the username and password of the user that is logged in to the application, consuming the web service.

Reading some forum post (like this http://forum.springframework.net/showthread.php?t=4818) they seem to refer to an example that used to be in the spring documentation ( http://www.springframework.net/doc-l...bservices.html ), an example of how using SOAP headers for authentication using the WebServiceExporter and WebServiceProxyFactory, but the link to the file is broken.

Also, the links in the post about Spring.Net and SoapHeaders by Bruno Baia (http://forum.springframework.net/showthread.php?t=3976) are broken too.

Do you know a way that I can send the user credentials as a soap header using spring.net? Or any data (for example, a token ID that the web service will use later to get the user credentials).

Thanks.

Hi,

I am facing the same problem since 2 days ago.

Then I take source of Spring.Net, add in my Solution to know it better.

I have found at CoreGetHandler.Invoke(this, new object[] {serviceType, context, context.Request, context.Response});

Then I have discover the base {System.SystemException " This operation requires IIS integrated pipeline mode."}

But as we are using Visual Studio and not using IIS yet . . .
I have found this:

    [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute(Namespace = "http://model.iuni.com.br")]
    [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlRootAttribute("SecurityToken", Namespace = "http://model.iuni.com.br", IsNullable = false)]
    public class AuthenticationSoapHeader : SoapHeader
    {
        private string _devToken;
        private string _user;
        private string _pwd;

        public AuthenticationSoapHeader()
        {
        }

        public AuthenticationSoapHeader(string devToken)
        {
            this._devToken = devToken;
        }

        [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTextAttribute()]
        public string ClientToken
        {
            get { return this._devToken; }
            set { this._devToken = value; }
        }

        [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTextAttribute()]
        public string Usuario
        {
            get { return this._user; }
            set { this._user = value; }
        }

        [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTextAttribute()]
        public string Senha
        {
            get { return this._pwd; }
            set { this._pwd = value; }
        }
    }

And then put this into my web.config:

<configuration>
  <system.webServer>
    <httpProtocol>
      <customHeaders>
        <add name="CustomHeader" value="Namespace.AuthenticationSoapHeader" />
      <customHeaders>
    </httpProtocol>
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>

My Service class, that I am also using it as Fluorine Remoting inside Adobe Flex looks likes:

    [RemotingService]
    [XmlInclude(typeof(VO.Paises))]
    public class Paises : Services.Interfaces.IPaises
    {
        public Repositorys.Auxil.IPaises paisesDAO;
        private static readonly ILog SysLOG = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(Paises));

        public Services.AuthenticationSoapHeader AutenticaSoapHeader;

        [Transaction(ReadOnly=true)]
        public VO.Paises[] Lista()
        {
            if (System.Web.HttpContext.Current != null && System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Items.Contains("AutenticaSoapHeader"))
            {
                AutenticaSoapHeader = (Services.AuthenticationSoapHeader)System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Items["AutenticaSoapHeader"];
            }
            if (!Security.Check(typeof(VO.Paises), AutenticaSoapHeader, "Lista"))
            { throw new Exception("Acesso Negado!"); //Access Denied
}
else
{
            List<VO.Paises> listaPaises = new List<VO.Paises>(paisesDAO.Lista());
            return listaPaises.ToArray();
}
        }

My Spring configuration looks like:

  <object id="PaisesService" type="Spring.Web.Services.WebServiceExporter, Spring.Web">
    <property name="TargetName" value="PaisesSRV" />
    <property name="Namespace" value="http://www.myclientdomain.com.br/WebServices" />
    <property name="Description" value="Lista de Paises Cadastrados no sistema" />
    <property name="MemberAttributes">
      <dictionary>
        <entry key="Lista">
          <list>
            <object type="System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHeaderAttribute, System.Web.Services">
              <constructor-arg name="memberName" value="AutenticaSoapHeader"/>
            </object>
          </list>
        </entry>
      </dictionary>
    </property>
  </object>

That works for me.

Tell me if you guys found another way to solve this problem.

Hello,

Is there any update on this topic? Every place about using soapheaders with spring.net in the internet links to an unexistent example:
http://opensource.atlassian.com/conf....rar?version=1

Does anyone have this file or can give some clues on how to force the client to send a soap header?

I'm trying to do the same thing with a self-hosted WCF service. Is this the same approach I should use? This is my first time using Spring.NET. I have inherited an existing application that used it and I have to maintain and extend it. Any recommendations on how to get my mind wrapped around this product? Thanks in advance for any and all assistance provided.
