Build SOAP header - php

Question

i need use a SOAP webservice for a project.
The webservice requires authentication via a SOAP header like this:
<soap:Header>
<wsse:Security soap:mustUnderstand="true" xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd">
<wsse:UsernameToken>
<wsse:Username>STAGING_WS</wsse:Username>
<wsse:Password Type="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-username-token-profile-1.0#PasswordText">ANDREANI</wsse:Password>
</wsse:UsernameToken>
</wsse:Security>
</soap:Header>
So, i tried build the headers using SoapHeader class as below:
$ns = "http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd";
$auth = new \StdClass();
$auth->Username = new \SoapVar('STAGING_WS', XSD_STRING, NULL, $ns, NULL, $ns);
$auth->Password = new \SoapVar('ANDREANI', XSD_STRING, NULL, $ns, NULL, $ns);
$token = new \StdClass();
$token->UsernameToken = new \SoapVar($auth, SOAP_ENC_OBJECT, NULL, $ns, 'UsernameToken', $ns);
$security = new \SoapVar(new \SoapVar($token, SOAP_ENC_OBJECT, NULL, $ns, 'UsernameToken', $ns), SOAP_ENC_OBJECT, NULL, $ns, 'Security', $ns);
$header = new \SoapHeader('wsse', 'Security', $security, true);
But, the generatd header is not equal:
<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:ns1="http://www.andreani.com.ar" xmlns:ns2="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd" xmlns:ns3="wsse">
<env:Header>
<ns3:Security env:mustUnderstand="true">
<ns2:UsernameToken>
<ns2:Username>STAGING_WS</ns2:Username>
<ns2:Password>ANDREANI</ns2:Password>
</ns2:UsernameToken>
</ns3:Security>
</env:Header>
<env:Body>
<ns1:ConfirmarCompra/>
</env:Body>
</env:Envelope>
Any ideas ?

Answer 1

Try changing the last line to:
$header = new \SoapHeader($ns, 'Security', $security, true);
This will make the namespace of the Security tag to be the same as UsernameToken, Username and Password tags. The local name for the security namespace will be still ns2 and not wsse but that doesn't really matter. The correct SOAP Server must accept it as long as the namespace url is correct.
