Axis 2 and Rampart- why does service return wsse:Security header in request?

Gribbler picture Gribbler · Jun 1, 2012 · Viewed 11k times · Source

I'm connecting to a secure service.

I have a SOAP UI project configured to use a jks file to provide the certificate, along with appropriate security settings to allow me to get a valid response.

I've have used AXIS 2 and Rampart to create a SOAP request from a JAVA project. Using TCPMon I've managed to grab the SOAP request.

When the request runs in the JAVA project, I just get the response:

org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: Missing wsse:Security header in request

but if I take the same request, captured in TCPMon and put it in a SOAP UI project, I get a response successfully.

Anyone got any ideas?

It looks as if the error isn't with the outbound request, but with handling the response. The response doesn't have a security header and when we're trying to unencrypt it, an exception occurs.

I need to somehow change my Rampart configuration to only do outbound security, not inbound

I'll report back :)


Ok the problem was that once Rampart is engaged, it expects the response to have the same security header. The way I solved the problem was by removing the handler to the Inflow security in the Rampart.mar file.

I'm not sure if this is the best fix, but it worked for us.

To remove the inflow handler: Unpack the rampart.mar file

Comment out the Inflow section

Zip up the META_INF folder. Then rename the .zip file to be .mar

Now when you use this as there are no handlers defined for inflow, it will just use the standard Axis2 response handler.

I guess if you had several projects using Rampart where some had the security header in the response and some didn't you would need a different approach.


Another approach is detailed here. It's probably a better approach :

Exception:
