PHP SOAP Authentication

[aukedirk]

Hi everyone,

 

at the moment i am writing a SOAP-service in PHP5 with the usage of WSDL. I am an experienced programmer but have not

often used PHP for webservices.

 

First of all what is working::

I am able to do remote-procedure calls on my SoapServer's class object..

 

$server->setClass("CLASS");

 

The trouble i am having concerns the HEADER part.

I would like to send authentication inside the header. I have read that the PHP SoapServer

first processes the header. In which i would like it to call myClass function, Authenticate.

I've seen that the nodes are actually send to the server, but php ignore's this. I am at a total loss

as what it might be. Any help would be very appriciated.

 

Here is the WSDL location

 

http://pietersma.hopto.org/SOAP/wsdl/punchit_auth.wsdl

 

And this is how the header part is recieved by the server.

 

<SOAP-ENV:...

<SOAP-ENV:Header>

<ns1:Authentication>

<Username>Auke</Username>

</ns1:Authentication>

</SOAP-ENV:Header>

...

 

I've tried with one argument and multiple but no result.

I've also heard there are 3 different SOAP implementations for php... how can i check this and does it

make a difference? I have not installed or included any SOAP libs so i am assuming it is the native one that

i am using.(Correct me if i'm wrong)

 

CLASS {

..

.

public function Authentication($usr){

...

}

 

 

Any tips or hints would be appriciated!

 

Kind regards.. a lost Guy
