we have network IP camera that supports ONVIF protocol. When I tried to get its PTZ configuration it gives Auth error. I am implementing this in C. Following are the request and response.

Request:

"<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>" 
  "<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap=\"http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope\"" 
  "xmlns:tds=\"http://www.onvif.org/ver20/ptz/wsdl\">" 
  "<soap:Body>"
  "<tds:GetNodes/>" 
  "</soap:Body>" 
  "</soap:Envelope>"

Response:

those commands which required authentication. Their authentication headers can be added like this.

 snprintf(postData, sizeof(postData),
          "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>" 
          "<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV=\"http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope\"" 
          "xmlns:wsse=\"http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401"
          "-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd\""  
          "xmlns:wsu=\"http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-"
          "200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd\""  
          "xmlns:tds=\"http://www.onvif.org/ver20/ptz/wsdl\">" 
          "<SOAP-ENV:Header><wsse:Security><wsse:UsernameToken>" 
          "<wsse:Username>%s</wsse:Username>" 
          "<wsse:Password Type=\"http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-"
          "200401-wss-username-token-profile-1.0#PasswordDigest\">"
              "%s</wsse:Password><wsse:Nonce>%s</wsse:Nonce>" 
          "<wsu:Created>%s</wsu:Created></wsse:UsernameToken>"
          "</wsse:Security></SOAP-ENV:Header><SOAP-ENV:Body>" 
          "<tds:GetNodes>" 
          "</SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Envelope>", 
          username, base64EncDigest, nonce_char, time_char);
