I am using Net Beans for developing an application on S60. I made one page for user authentication and using .net wcf service to authenticate user. i am able to send data on .net service by HttpGet method but not able to get response back on java page.
I have tested it on fiddler with this url its working fine and returning response code 200, but not getting response code by java code. Following code i am using. Is some thing wrong here ?
httpConn = (HttpConnection)Connector.open(url);
httpConn.setRequestMethod(HttpConnection.GET);
httpConn.setRequestProperty("User-Agent",
"Profile/MIDP-2.1 Confirguration/CLDC-1.1");
int respCode = httpConn.getResponseCode();
try user agent "Profile/MIDP-2.1 Configuration/CLDC-1.1"

I am pretty new into web development. Currently I am trying to do an Form Based Authentication on my Jakarta app. I managed to create a realm on Glassfish 6.0.0 and to integrate it on the web.xml descriptor. I managed to make the Basic Authentication work, but when I try it to change to Form Authentication I get an 403 status code ever time I want to login. I got the following error every time I send a POST request to j_security_check with good credentials, along with 403 status code:
***WEB9102: Web Login Failed:
com.sun.enterprise.security.auth.login.common.LoginException
: Login failed: Security Exception*** which doesn't say to much for me.
I wanted to create an Form Authentication in order to use j_security_check to login using form-data format from Postman. If I can not do this, is there a way to create a custom endpoint to send a request in order to authenticate?
I found out a method to do what I needed for the moment. I just sent parameters in URL. For now it is perfect, even though the security suffer with this method.
I am trying to excute IBM BPM Rest api call from Post man client
Ex:
https://ustrial01.bpm.ibmcloud.com/bpm/dev/rest/bpm/wle/v1/user/current?includeInternalMemberships=true&parts=all
I set Basic Authentication values( Username, password)
I am getting status code as 200, but response i am getting some HTML code.
Can any one help me on this.Any help is greatly arreciated.
If you are getting a 200 status then why do you need the response? the status code should be good enough for you because 200 means the REST call worked fine.
I'm not familiar with the product you're referring to, but it sounds like you need to specify the media type you want to get back in an Accept header of your request. I suggest you try specifying
Accept: application/json
or (being an IBM product I'm guessing XML might be preferred)
Accept: application/xml
I tried to access BPM REST api call using Chrome's Postman & REST Console plugins.
Based on my experience, sometimes I don't no why it looks like Postman will not take auth details.
But, below steps always worked for me:
1. login to BPM account in Chrome,
2. open REST Console plugin and can access REST api GET/PUT all the time.
Hope this helps. Thanks
There are two parts to this answer, the 'long story short' part and the elaborate part.
Long Story Short:
IBM BPM Cloud exposes a variety of REST APIs to interact with its BPM engine and let it be as a service or more commonly known as 'Headless BPM' or 'BPM-as-a-Service'.
These REST API calls are secured by basic authentication i.e. by username/password
For Cloud, the username and password used for the REST API is not the same as the User's credential, which the User will use for logging into IBM BPM Process Portal or website. For on-prem solution, it is the same.
For Cloud, a 'functional' username password has to be requested for (Cloud Admin can create those) and that has to be used in the service call.
For example, if you are username/password for logging into BPM Cloud is 'johndoe#gmail.com/Test123' then there will be functional credential created for this ID (say, 'somefunctionalusernamedjohn123/8jdklajl23').
We can use this credential with every reqeust but what we should do is, use these credentials in the very 1st call to BPM server, in the response of which there will be a specific 'cookie'. We should save it and re-use that in our sub-sequent calls until it expires (you'll receive appropriate http status code if you disable 'follow redirect' in your http client config).
I had to raise a PMR to get this information. https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSFPJS_8.6.0/com.ibm.wbpm.wle.editor.doc/topics/int_ext_services_start_process.html
Sample Java code to start a process:
OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();
Request request = new Request.Builder()
.url("https://ustrial03.bpm.ibmcloud.com:443/bpm/dev/rest/bpm/wle/v1/process?
processAppId=3u092jr02j-fghjkyk.u078992c166c1&bpdId=25.jk8989-539a-4150-
b63e-ggui67868gjkgj7&action=start")
.put(null)
.addHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
.addHeader("Accept", "application/json")
.addHeader("Connection", "keep-alive")
.addHeader("Authorization", "Basic YXJrYX242232jklkljljLmNvbTpkZWZjb240QA==")
.addHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache")
.addHeader("Postman-Token", "f46c1525-899-9897-uoh89-bb2b21a57f16")
.build();
Response response = client.newCall(request).execute();
Before finding this solution through PMR, I was desperately looking for a solution or a workaround. I noticed that my REST calls are getting redirected to an authentication page and I also noticed that, it is quite similar to what happens when you try logging into any IBM BPM Process Portal.
Once you login to IBM BPM Portal using Chrome, observe that it doesn't log you out. So I guessed the answer to be in the cookie and through trial and error, I picked up the cookie, which is PD-S-SESSIONID (named Something like that), and started using them in my service but obviously they expire in like 30-40 mins. So, I went ahead and used selenium and headless chrome to do the same thing as what I did manually. Anyway, this hack shouldn't be needed for On-Prem solution or with functional IDs for cloud.
Another very useful API wrapper which I have used in my project is:
https://github.com/egetman/ibm-bpm-rest-client. I had to make some changes to make this work with the trial account and for some other reasons.
And of course, we can't go far without the help of in-built REST API tester by IBM
e.g. https://ustrial03.bpm.ibmcloud.com/bpm/dev/bpmrest-ui/BPMRestAPITester/index.jsp
Thanks!
I am trying to setup basic auth on my mvc.net web application. I configured my controller using this example: asp mvc 3 ActionFilter for basic authentication
I set a breakpoint where it checks for the Authorization Header, however the header is not present in the HttpRequest. I am accessing the site like this:
http://user1:pass1#localhost/{AppName}/Client/Authorize
If I remove the [BasicAuthorization] attribute from my controller, I am able to access the page.
I am debugging this using IIS 7.0 on a Windows 7 machine.
I think it might have something to do with default authorization settings in IIS. When I throw a HttpUnauthorizedResult() exception, a username/password box pops up in Chrome... I'm not sure how to tell IIS to use my custom code to authenticate the user.
This application won't be accessible by a human user, so the username/password needs to be passed in in the URL like shown above.
I had also found this post: No browser is sending Authorization info in header. I tried sending the request twice after IIS sends the UnauthorizedRequest to the browser, but that's when the username/password dialog pops up. I'm also not sure how to test using that Curl command... Is that through CMD?
I found this post here: SimpleMembership in MVC4 app + WebApi using basic HTTP auth
I was able to refer to the test page used on this tutorial: http://kevin-junghans.blogspot.ca/2013/02/mixing-forms-authentication-basic.html to setup a simple testing page to test that basic authentication was working properly.
I'm not entirely sure on the reason, but I believe that the browser doesn't automatically add an authentication header to the HttpRequest when you try sending the credentials like so:
http://user1:pass1#localhost/{AppName}/Client/Authorize
It must have something to do with the browser requiring a 401 response from the server first before sending the authentication header. I just couldn't figure out how to do it. If anyone knows how to configure IIS/browser properly so you can easily test basic authentication using the above URL format, please let me know.
I'm new to ASP.NET Web API and I'm struggling with a very strange problem.
I have some code which calls a RESTful service and it executes fine from a console project, but I can't get it to run from an MVC4 project running under .NET 4.0
The code to call the service is very simple:
internal string Test()
{
using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
client.BaseAddress = new Uri("https://testserver");
var task = client.GetAsync("/someUri")
var response = task.Result;
response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
return response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
}
}
As mentioned, called from a console project it works as expected and I get a response in milliseconds, however if I call the method from an action in my MVC4 controller after a few seconds I get a message stating that:
"A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to repond".
Weirdly, when debugging the MVC4 version, the task status always shows as WaitingForActivation.
Running fiddler doesn't show any request being made from the MVC4 version, but again does for the Console version.
After a fairly serious bit of googling I can't find anyone else who seems to have had this problem, so I'm guessing that I've fundamentally misunderstood something, but at the moment I'm not sure what!

To make things even weirder, I've just created a new MVC4 site and I can call the method without any problems! I'm now trying to compare the sites, however one was an existing site that was upgraded to MVC4 and the other is a new blank site, so spotting the relevant difference could be tricky.
Updated 16:44 BST, 14/09/2012
This is now looking like some infrastructure / networking issue.
I upgraded the project to VS2012 with .NET 4.5 so that I could use async/await to try the suggested implementations to avoid a deadlock. This didn't change anything so I went back to square 1.
I created a new solution with a new MVC4 project, a new services library and a unit test project to run the service library outside of MVC.
In the service library I created one method to call a public "what's my IP" service, and another to call a company service that's exposed publicly but only responds properly to company IP addresses.
For some background, I connect in to the company LAN via a VPN.
When disconnected from the VPN, in both unit tests and MVC, the IP service responds HTTP 200, the company service responds HTTP 404 as expected.
When connected to the VPN, unit tests both respond HTTP 200, MVC both timeout.
Next I ran MS Soap Tool locally and used that to proxy calls to the company services. All calls (whether from unit tests or MVC) show a request and response, but the unit test registers the response whilst the MVC controller does not.
My only other thought is that it could be something to do with the size of the reply? All the "successes" have very small replies other than the unit test calling the company service?
The Microsoft recommended way to upgrade an MVC3 to MVC4 site is to start with a completely new MVC4 site a migrate your views, controllers & code over. So I think that your upgrade steps may be part of your issue, since you were able to get it to work in the new MVC4 site you created. If you need to manually upgrade your existing site, I would follow the steps outlined in Upgrading ASP.NET MVC 3 Project to ASP.NET MVC 4
I have a simple WCF Rest service using the latest MS Restful preview kit. Everything works fine, site works as expected. However when I go to my /help page as in http://services.acme.com/help what is being shown is --
UriTemplate http://serv17.acme.com/Service.svc/Ping/string={ping}
Method GET
Response Format Xml
Response Schema http://serv17.acme.com/Service.svc/help/Ping/response/schema
Response Example http://serv17.acne.com/Service.svc/help/Ping/response/example
Why is the help showing my internal server name, http://serv17.acme.com/ instead of http://www.acme.com/?
