Hi,

Are you calling WebService from XI via SOAP Reciever Adapter ? If so , there is an indicator in the SOAP configuration <i>Configure User Authentication</i> ..

so you can go further on this-

Hi,

I think it is required. We can not avoid that..

In SAP note also it tells , you need to have service user id for this.( Note -856597) Question no 1.

This is my view

Hi Krishna

I have the same problem, I don't want to use any authentication on the webservice. Did you find a way around this problem? If not, how can I provide user id and password to the webservice.
