Django 1.8 (on Python 3) - Make a SOAP request with pysimplesoap - php

Question

Since one week I'm trying to retrieve some datas from a Dolibarr application including Dolibarr's webservices.
In few words, I'm trying to make a soap request to retrieve user's informations.
At first, I tried to instantiate SoapClient with 'wsdl' and 'trace' parameters, in vain.. SoapClient's object was never been create !
Secondly, I made a made a classical SoapClient's object without 'wsdl', however I used : 'location', 'action', 'namespace', 'soap_ns', 'trace'; It was a success (I think) but It did't work when I called Client's call method.. My dolibarrkey did't match my key on the webservice, but their keys are the same (copy & paste).
For more explanations take a look to dolibarr api (to retrieve datas) with the xlm dataformat.
Link to getUser web service (click on getUser to show parameters):
http://barrdoli.yhapps.com/webservices/server_user.php
Link to xml dataformat (for the SOAP request maybe):
http://barrdoli.yhapps.com/webservices/server_user.php?wsdl
from pysimplesoap.client import SoapClient, SoapFault
import sys
def listThirdParties():
# create a simple consumer
try:
# client = SoapClient(
# "[MyAppDomain]/webservices/server_user.php")
# print(client)
# client = SoapClient(wsdl="[MyAppDomain]/webservices/server_user.php?wsdl", trace=True)
client = SoapClient(
location = "[myAppDomain]/webservices/server_user.php",
action = '[myAppDomain]/webservices/server_user.php?wsdl', # SOAPAction
namespace = "[myAppDomain]/webservices/server_user.php",
soap_ns='soap',
trace = True,
)
print("connected bitch")
except:
print("error connect")
message = dict()
message['use'] = "encoded"
message["namespace"] = "http://www.dolibarr.org/ns/"
message["encodingStyle"] = "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
message["message"] = "getUserRequest"
parts = dict()
auth = dict()
auth['dolibarrkey'] = '********************************'
auth['sourceapplication'] = 'WebServicesDolibarrUser'
auth['login'] = '********'
auth['password'] = '********'
auth['entity'] = ''
parts["authentication"] = auth
parts["id"] = 1
parts["ref"] = "ref"
parts["ref_ext"] = "ref_ext"
message["parts"] = parts
# call the remote method
response = client.call(method='getUser', kwargs=message)
# extract and convert the returned value
# result = response.getUser
# return int(result)
print(response)
pass
I've "BAD_VALUE_FOR_SECURITY_KEY" into a xlm response, I think it's my request which made with a bad xml dataformat..
shell response :
-------- RESPONSE -------
b'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><SOAP-ENV:Envelope SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:tns="http://www.dolibarr.org/ns/"><SOAP-ENV:Body><ns1:getUserResponse xmlns:ns1="http://barrdoli.yhapps.com/webservices/server_user.php"><result xsi:type="tns:result"><result_code xsi:type="xsd:string">BAD_VALUE_FOR_SECURITY_KEY</result_code><result_label xsi:type="xsd:string">Value provided into dolibarrkey entry field does not match security key defined in Webservice module setup</result_label></result><user xsi:nil="true" xsi:type="tns:user"/></ns1:getUserResponse></SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Envelope>'
I really want to know how should I do to make a working soap request with a clean xlm dataformat.
Thanks

Did you try to setup WebService Security (WSSE) with client object? Following examples are taken from https://code.google.com/p/pysimplesoap/wiki/SoapClient
client['wsse:Security'] = {
'wsse:UsernameToken': {
'wsse:Username': 'testwservice',
'wsse:Password': 'testwservicepsw',
}
}
or try to Setup AuthHeaderElement authentication header
client['AuthHeaderElement'] = {'username': 'mariano', 'password': 'clave'}
