HTTP basic authentication through CXF interceptor not working

Question

I\'m having some trouble setting the HTTP Authorization header for a web service request using Apache CXF. I have my client setup through spring:

Answer 1

If you are looking to externalize the client and authentication best approach is to setup httpConduit in spring context..

 **in your spring context file...**


    
        
            file:${config.dir}/application.properties
        
    
    
 
  ...
  
    
        
            
        
    
    
        
            
        
    
  
  ...


applicaiton.properties
---------------------
webservices.http.auth.username=userName
webservices.http.auth.password=Password
webservice.soap.address=https://your.service.url/services/service

a) by mentioning the SOAP Address in the name attribute. which your can find in your WSDL

Ex: if in your WSDL..
    
    ...
    
         

Then

...
xmlns:http-conf="http://cxf.apache.org/transports/http/configuration"
xmlns:sec="http://cxf.apache.org/configuration/security"
...

    
        ${webservices.http.auth.username}
        ${webservices.http.auth.password}
        Basic
    

Or b) name attribute should be {targetNamespace}portName.http_conduit

    
        ${webservices.http.auth.username}
        ${webservices.http.auth.password}
        Basic
