Re: Nusoap-general digest, Vol 1 #871 - 3 msgs

I could be mistaken, but don't you defeat the purpose
of SSL when you put username/password info in GET request?

soapclient("https://$proxyusername:$proxypassword@xxxxxxxxxxxx/SOAPSERVER.php?wsdl",true);

And if so, does
$client->setCredentials($proxyusername,$proxypassword);

set the client up to POST them instead of GET them?

Thanks.

POST the username password

Ok, I figured out how to do authentication on apache.

You first modify your apache http.conf file to include this directive (you
can also use .htaccess file):

<Location /SOAPSERVER.php>
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "SOAP Access"
    AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/passwd/passwords
    require valid-user
</Location>

where SOAPSERVER.php is your soap server you want to protect and require
authentication.

"AuthUserFile" is the passowrd file that contains all the users
and 
passwords on apache. (you must use "htpasswd" to create this
file)

"require valid-user"-means that the only people allowed to access
your 
SOAPSERVER.php are in passwords file.

Then on the client side, espcially if your website uses https, you would
write


$proxyusername = 'mike';
$proxypassword = 'pass2342';

$client = new 
soapclient("https://$proxyusername:$proxypassword@xxxxxxxxxxxx/SOAPSERVER.php?wsdl",true);
$client->setCredentials($proxyusername,$proxypassword);

The above information is incomplete, but should at least get you started.
