WSDL to PHP with Basic Auth - php

Question

I need to build php classes from a WSDL that is behind basic auth.
It has tons of namespaces so it looks burdensome to do this by hand.
I have tried a few tools but looks like the auth session isn't presistent.

Answer 1

$options = array(
'login' => $username,
'password' => $password,
);
$client = new SoapClient($wsdl, $options);
Yes, it works! I tried in a solution that I was building and it connects to my customer WS which is with HTTP Basic Auth.

Answer 2

HTTP Auth works with SOAP Client, however you cannot access password protected WSDL files
See https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=27777

Answer 3

Using built in SOAP client, you should have something like this:
$options = array(
'login' => $username,
'password' => $password,
);
$client = new SoapClient($wsdl, $options);

Answer 4

I solved this by using the lib nusoap. See if it helps
$params = array(
"param" => "value"
);
$soap_client = new nusoap_client($wsdl_url, true);
$soap_client->setCredentials(USER_SERVICE, PASS_SERVICE, 'basic');
$soap_client->soap_defencoding = 'UTF-8'; //Fix encode erro, if you need
$soap_return = $soap_client->call("method_name", $params);

Answer 5

How about this solution:
Download the WSDL and save into a local file
Create SoapClient with the local file
Something like this (in a simplified version) :
class MySoap {
private $WSDL = 'https://secure-wsdl.url?wsdl';
private $USERNAME = 'dummy';
private $PASSWORD = 'dummy';
private $soapclient;
private function localWSDL()
{
$local_file_name = 'local.wsdl';
$local_file_path = 'path/to/file/'.$local_file_name;
// Cache local file for 1 day
if (filemtime($local_file_path) < time() - 86400) {
// Modify URL to format http://[username]:[password]#[wsdl_url]
$WSDL_URL = preg_replace('/^https:\/\//', "https://{$this->USERNAME}:{$this->PASSWORD}#", $this->WSDL);
$wsdl_content = file_get_contents($WSDL_URL);
if ($wsdl_content === FALSE) {
throw new Exception("Download error");
}
if (file_put_contents($local_file_path, $wsdl_content) === false) {
throw new Exception("Write error");
}
}
return $local_file_path;
}
private function getSoap()
{
if ( ! $this->soapclient )
{
$this->soapclient = new SoapClient($this->localWSDL(), array(
'login' => $this->USERNAME,
'password' => $this->PASSWORD,
));
}
return $this->soapclient;
}
public function callWs() {
$this->getSoap()->wsMethod();
}
}
It works for me :)

Answer 6

This is Simple example to authenticate webservice using soapClient
$apiauth =array('UserName'=>'abcusername','Password'=>'xyzpassword','UserCode'=>'1991');
$wsdl = 'http://sitename.com/service.asmx?WSDL';
$header = new SoapHeader('http://tempuri.org/', 'AuthHeader', $apiauth);
$soap = new SoapClient($wsdl);
$soap->__setSoapHeaders($header);
$data = $soap->methodname($header);
This code internally parse header as follow
<soap:Header>
<AuthHeader xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
<UserName>abcusername</UserName>
<Password>xyzpassword</Password>
<UserCode>1991</UserCode>
</AuthHeader>
</soap:Header>

i’ve been trying to resolve this issue, but from what i understand, soap client connections to ssl+httpauth web services are more pain. I’ve googled and from what i understand, with my problem being solved, you can use the example below to solve your problem too(by using HttpAuth infos in both url and soapClient setup).
$username="test";
$password="test";
$url = "https://".urlencode($username).":".urlencode($password)."#example.com/service.asmx?WSDL";
$context = stream_context_create([
'ssl' => [
// set some SSL/TLS specific options
'verify_peer' => false,
'verify_peer_name' => false,
'allow_self_signed' => true,
]]);
$client = new SoapClient($url, [
'location' => $url,
'uri' => $url,
'stream_context' => $context,
'login' => $username,
'password' => $password
]);
$params=array(
'operation'=>’arguments',
'and’=>'other bull',
'goes’=>'here'
);
$response = $client->__soapCall('OperationName', array($params));
