Unable to consume REST service - invalid credentials

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm calling an external webservice from an ABAP, which works ok as long as I supply my UserID & password via the pop-up.

When I suppress the dialog, using:

• lo_http_client->propertytype_logon_popup = lo_http_client->co_disabled

And supply my credentials via:

• lo_http_client->authenticate( username = lv_user password = lv_password )

I receive the error:

• 401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials

Is this the correct way to connect without explicit logon?

Thanks in advance

Hi Axel

Yes, this is the right way.

You even don't need to suppress the popup with

lo_http_client->propertytype_logon_popup = lo_http_client->co_disabled

Just set the user/password before calling

lo_http_client->authenticate( username = lv_user password = lv_password )
...
lo_http_client->send( )

Then popup will only come up if the credentials are invalid and GUI is available.
