Issue in authentication, web service running in IIS server.
We are trying to make a web service call to Microsoft share point portal server.
This share point portal run on top of Microsoft IIS server and my client in java
So I get a error like (401)Unauthorized when ever I try to call the web service.
This problem is because IIS server use windows authentication to identify the user calling the web service (or calling any web page).
If I access the same in a browser (IE) it works fine because the browser set the credentials (authentication details) along with every request.
How I set the same programmatically in java code?
We did following experiments but don抰 work.
We try to use java.net.Authenticator class to set the credentials, but it is still giving same error.
Setting the system property like
System.setProperty("http.proxyHost", "mtwproxy");
System.setProperty("http.proxyPort", "8085");
System.setProperty("http.proxyUser", "username");
System.setProperty"http.proxyPassword", "password");
This time the request takes long time and gets an error like 504 proxy timeout. It is because the request tries to get the server URL from internet and don抰 find the same.
Please reply if you have a solution in your mind.
