Making the SoapHeader for DHL - php

Question

I'm trying to make a soapHeader with nested parameters as it shown in an example from dhl developer portal:
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:cis="http://dhl.de/webservice/cisbase"
xmlns:bcs="http://dhl.de/webservices/businesscustomershipping"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<soap:Header>
<cis:Authentification>
<cis:user>2222222222_01</cis:user>
<cis:signature>pass</cis:signature>
</cis:Authentification>
</soap:Header>
The way I do the header:
class DhlSoapClient {
public $apiUrl = 'https://cig.dhl.de/cig-wsdls/com/dpdhl/wsdl/geschaeftskundenversand-api/1.0/geschaeftskundenversand-api-1.0.wsdl';
public $dhlSandboxUrl = 'https://cig.dhl.de/services/sandbox/soap';
public $soapClient;
public $credentials;
public function buildClient($credentials, $sandbox = false)
{
$this->soapClient = new \SoapClient($this->apiUrl, ['trace' => 1]);
$this->credentials = $credentials;
$this->buildAuthHeader();
return $this->soapClient;
}
public function buildAuthHeader()
{
$authParams = [
'user' => $this->credentials['user'],
'signature' => $this->credentials['signature'],
'type' => 0
];
$authvalues = new \SoapVar(new \SoapVar($authParams, SOAP_ENC_OBJECT), SOAP_ENC_OBJECT);
$soapHeader = new \SoapHeader($this->dhlSandboxUrl, 'Authentification', $authvalues);
$this->soapClient->__setSoapHeaders($soapHeader);
}}
So I get this client:
object(SoapClient) {
trace => (int) 1
_soap_version => (int) 1
sdl => resource
__default_headers => [
(int) 0 => object(SoapHeader) {
namespace => 'https://cig.dhl.de/services/sandbox/soap'
name => 'Authentification'
data => object(SoapVar) {
enc_type => (int) 301
enc_value => object(SoapVar) {
enc_type => (int) 301
enc_value => [
'user' => '2222222222_01',
'signature' => 'pass'
]}}mustUnderstand => false}]}
And as a result I get this header:
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:ns1="http://dhl.de/webservice/cisbase"
xmlns:ns2="http://de.ws.intraship"
xmlns:ns3="https://cig.dhl.de/services/sandbox/soap">
<SOAP-ENV:Header>
<ns3:Authentification>
<user>2222222222_01</user>
<signature>pass</signature>
</ns3:Authentification>
</SOAP-ENV:Header>
As I try to get $response = $this->client->CreateShipmentDD($shipmentInfo);
I get this:
object(SoapFault) {
faultstring => 'Authorization Required'
faultcode => 'HTTP'
[protected] message => 'Authorization Required'
Maybe the problem is that parameters user and signature inside Authentification have no prefix as it has to be and it cause the SoapFault exception, but they are adding automatically so I have to make kind of nested SoapHeader.

Answer 1

I had the same problem. The Authorization Required is for the HTTP Auth. You need to add the authorization values to the $options array in SoapClient::__construct($wsdlUri, $options).
$this->soapClient = new \SoapClient($this->apiUrl,
['trace' => 1,
'login' => <DHL_DEVELOPER_ID>,
'password' => <DHL_DEVELOPER_PASSWD>,
]
);
You can add the location to select the sandbox:
$this->soapClient = new \SoapClient($this->apiUrl,
['trace' => 1,
'login' => <DHL_DEVELOPER_ID>,
'password' => <DHL_DEVELOPER_PASSWD>,
'location' => <DHL_SANDBOX_URL>|<DHL_PRODUCTION_URL>,
'soap_version' => SOAP_1_1,
'encoding' => 'utf-8',
]
);
The DHL_DEVELOPER_ID is not a mail address. You find it in "Mein Konto" (My Account).
