SOAP UI basic authentication in java

Question

This is my Code:

public class JavaSoapUi {

 public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

    String requestUrl = "myurl";
    URLConnection connection =new URL(requestUrl).openConnection();
    System.out.println( "orignal url: " + connection.getURL() );
    connection.connect();
    System.out.println( "connected url: " + connection.getURL() );     
    HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(requestUrl);       
    String username = "user";
    String password = "pass";
    String encoded = DatatypeConverter.printBase64Binary((username + ":" + password).getBytes("UTF-8"));
    httpPost.addHeader("AUTHORIZATION", "Basic " + encoded);
    HttpClient httpClient = HttpClientBuilder.create().build();
    HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpPost);       
    System.out.println("Response" + response.getStatusLine().toString());
    HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();           
    String responseString = EntityUtils.toString(entity, "UTF-8");
    System.out.println("ResponseString" + responseString);      
    EntityUtils.consume(entity);

}

And I am getting output Error :HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently

If I used the username and password in the SOAP UI By using the Basic Authentication I can then get the output. But when I am using the same username and password in the Java code I am getting the error.

Any one help me.

Answer 1

Your Authoritzation http-header looks good to me due you added the header like is defined in RFC. Furthermore if the problem was with your Authoritzation then your call must receive an Error HTTP 401 Unauthorized instead you're receiving Error HTTP 301 - Moved permanently so probably the error is with your url. Check the location http-header of your 301 error response to see the correct url for your service.

EDIT BASED ON OP COMMENT

As I said you check the location header from 301 error response, and seems that url is an https://, if you change the url, now you're receiving Error: unable to find valid certification path to requested target this is due your client has to trust in a server certificate, to do so, download the server certificate from your url and load it in the trust store of the JRE where you're executing your client with the follow command (the correct way is to add the certificate authority of your server certificate, however to perform a test load directly server certificate it's enough).

keytool -import -alias somealias -file serverCertificate.cer -keystore JRE_HOME/lib/security/cacerts

Note that keytool is inside java distribution in JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool, and default password for JRE_HOME/lib/security/cacerts trust store is changeit.

Hope this helps,
