Visual Composer - access Web Services using http proxy

[Former Member]

Hi,

I want to use an external web service in the Visual Composer. I set up the service in NWA -> SOA Management -> Destination Template Management.

I defined the http proxy in System Global Settings. The proxy requires authentication so I provided username and password.

When I want to access the web service in the Visual Composer the log file shows this:

com.sap.engine.services.webservices.jaxrpc.exceptions.InvalidResponseCodeException: Invalid Response Code: (407) Proxy Authentication Required ( The ISA Server requires authorization to fulfill the request. Access to the Web Proxy service is denied. ). The requested URL was:"myWSURL"

It seems that authentication is not performed although I provided the correct credentials. Using (internal) web services without the proxy works fine with the visual composer.

Any ideas? Thanks, Kevin

Hi Mohd,

I also tried your suggestion but it doesn't solve the problem. Have you ever managed to get access to a web service through a proxy?
