PHP SoapClient with BasicAuth - php

Question

I have a PHP script trying to connect to a WSDL.
I need to allow self signed AND give basic auth details.
Using SOAP UI, when I connect to the WSDL I am prompted for username / password.
I got this working.
I also found out that each request also requires basic auth (so on the request screen, I have to select Auth, then basic, enter same credentials as I used on the prompt).
How to I do this auth in PHP
As I said, I can connect, not a problem, I seem to kill the service or timeout if I try to make a request
<?php
$context = stream_context_create(array(
'ssl' => array(
'verify_peer' => false,
'verify_peer_name' => false,
'allow_self_signed' => true
)
));
$data = array(
'columnA' => 'dataA',
'columnB' => 'dataB',
'columnC' => 'dataC');
$url = 'https://111.111.111.111:1234/dir/file';
$login = 'username';
$pwd = 'password';
$client = new soapClient(null, array(
'location' => $url,
'uri' => '',
'login' => $login,
'password' => $pwd,
'stream_context' => $context
));
echo "\n\r---connected---\n\r";
$result = $client ->requestName($data);
print_r($result);
?>
My output is
---connected---
Then it seems to hang.
I have tried wrapping it round a try catch and I had the same result.
Any suggestions??

From the Manual soapclient support the http basic auth.
For HTTP authentication, the login and password options can be used to
supply credentials. For making an HTTP connection through a proxy
server, the options proxy_host, proxy_port, proxy_login and
proxy_password are also available. For HTTPS client certificate
authentication use local_cert and passphrase options. An
authentication may be supplied in the authentication option. The
authentication method may be either SOAP_AUTHENTICATION_BASIC
(default) or SOAP_AUTHENTICATION_DIGEST.
$wsdl = "http://example/services/Service?wsdl";
$option = array(
"trace"=>1,
"login"=>"admin",
"password"=>"admin",
);
$client = new SoapClient($wsdl,$option);
But when I initiate the soapclient, it will throw this error
Exception: Unauthorized
I also have tried to put the auth in the url, like
$wsdl = "http://admin:admin#example/services/Service?wsdl";
But it also doesn't works.
Finally I solved it by add authentication to the option. The manual says the authentication default value is the basic auth, but only when I explicitly set it, it can work.
$option = array(
"trace"=>1,
"login"=>"admin",
"password"=>"admin",
"authentication"=>SOAP_AUTHENTICATION_BASIC
);

Try url encoding your username and password inside the url that you are using:
$url = 'http://'.urlencode('yourLogin').':'.urlencode('yourPassword').'#111.111.111.111:1234/dir/file';
Also I don't see you make use of the wsdl in your code example. You can always download a copy of the wsdl locally and then reference that local copy. You can download the wsdl anyway you want (with php, curl, manually).
