Problem with Webservice Authentication

[hwagenle]

Hello,

I have a problem with the webserices of Scott Klement.
I have successfully used it in other projects, but now I can't get any further.
I need to call a HTTPS page with Basic Authentication, that's what I'm doing now.
USER and PASS are hard coded in RPGle.

 https_strict(*OFF);  
 http_setauth(HTTP_AUTH_BASIC: 'user' : 'pass');

 rc = http_url_post_stmf( url
                                :%trim(sndfile)
                                : %trim(rcvfile)
                                HTTP_TIMEOUT
                                : HTTP_USERAGENT
                                ContentType );

If I call the program as *PGMR, it runs perfectly.
If a normal user calls the program, he gets:

SetError() #13: HTTP/1.1 401 UNAUTHORIZED
recvresp(): end with 401
recvdoc parms: chunked 0
interpret_auth(): entered
SetError() #36: This page requires a user-id & password

What additional rights are required here?

HTTPAPI is sending your request to the server, and the server is sending back "401 UNAUTHORIZED".

That's all the information you've provided -- so it is all I can tell you.

Perhaps this server doesn't use basic authentication? Or perhaps you are not sending the correct userid/password?

Hello, Scott,
the access data are hard coded in the program and always the same.
Probably the user is not allowed to write in the IFS and this was a consequence error. I solved it differently now, there is a serverjob with rights, so it works.
