ACL Error [ISS.0088.9134] Exception occurred while processing the body of the message

Hi All,

I am using VBscript and Microsoft’s SOAP Toolkit 3.0 to invoke an ACL-enabled web service. I now have the code in place to authenticate the WSDL successfully. Here is the code:

Dim soapClient as Object = CreateObject(“MSSoap.SoapClient30”)
'First download the WSDL file locally using the ServerXMLHttp request object
Dim reqObj, response as Object
reqObj = CreateObject(“Msxml2.ServerXmlHttp”)
reqObj.Open(“GET”, “http://server:port/CU139/WERCS_Main.wsdl”, False, “user”, “pwd”)
reqObj.Send
response = reqObj.responseText
soapClient.ClientProperty(“ServerHTTPRequest”)=True
‘feed in response into mssoapinit
soapClient.mssoapinit(response, “”, “”)
if err.Number <> 0 then
MessageList("initialization failed ", err.description)
end if
'Provide authentication info for method call
soapClient.ConnectorProperty(“AuthUser”) = “user”
soapClient.ConnectorProperty(“AuthPassword”)=“pwd”
if err.Number <> 0 then
MessageList("Setting some connectorproperty failed ", err.description)
end if
‘call web method
soapClient.Main(sXML)
if err.Number <> 0 then
MessageList("Main call error ", err.description)
end if

The problem I have now is that I am receiving this 500 Internal Server error from webMethods while attempting to authenticate the service:

SOAP-ENV:Fault
SOAP-ENV:Client
[ISS.0088.9134] Exception occurred while processing the body of the message
http://server:port/soap/rpc
<detail xmlns:webM=“[URL=“API Integration Platform | Software AG”]API Integration Platform | Software AG”>
webM:exception webM:classNamecom.wm.app.b2b.server.AccessException</webM:className>
<webM:message xml:lang=“”>[ISS.0084.9004] Access Denied </webM:message>
</webM:exception>

</SOAP-ENV:Fault>

The service has Execute ACL set to a group of which I am part of. Enforce Execute ACL is set to “When top-level service only”. I am confident I am sending the correct credentials to authenticate the service. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Chris,
This is part of the same issue we were talking about in the other post. .Net is expecting a 401 error and not a 500. The SOAP dev guide has the information you need to create the Access-Controlled SOAP Processor. In addition to that you will also need to tell you client to PreAuthenticate. Not sure about syntax in your vbscript.

Hi Mark,

Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, MS SOAP Toolkit 3.0 and VBscript do not provide a mechanism for setting a “PreAuthenticate” property. This appears to only be available in .NET.

I have since created a custom soap processor service to handle the incoming soap request. The Execute ACL of this service is set to “Anonymous”. I plan on forwarding the input data to a secured service after authenticating the user and password credentials, which are embedded in the input data, against the webMethods group of the target service.

Is this a solution worth pursuing? If so, how does one validate credentials against an established group? At this juncture, I am able to invoke the target service and the XML is processed correctly with the Execute ACL set to a group. I suspect that no authentication is occurring when forwarding the input data.
