I imported a WSDL to my C# .NET project. After that I had to generate an access token and now I have to use this token via authorization header while calling the SOAP service. Is there any easy way to to this?
MemberAccountPortClient clientTransaction = new MemberAccountPortClient ("SERVICE"); SearchTransactionResponseType res = clientTransaction.searchTransaction (OBJECT_1, OBJECT_2); How can I add the authorization header in this case?
You can create an IClientMessageInspector / IEndpointBehavior to set this value as follows: (yes this code is verbose, but that's the way WCF works ;)
using System; using System.Net; using System.ServiceModel; using System.ServiceModel.Channels; using System.ServiceModel.Description; using System.ServiceModel.Dispatcher; public class AuthorizationHeaderMessageInspector : IClientMessageInspector, IEndpointBehavior { object IClientMessageInspector.BeforeSendRequest(ref Message request, IClientChannel channel) { HttpRequestMessageProperty prop; Object obj; if (request.Properties.TryGetValue(HttpRequestMessageProperty.Name, out obj)) { prop = (HttpRequestMessageProperty)obj; // throws a cast exception if invalid type } else { prop = new HttpRequestMessageProperty(); request.Properties.Add(HttpRequestMessageProperty.Name, prop); } prop.Headers[HttpRequestHeader.Authorization] = "your authorization value here"; return null; } void IClientMessageInspector.AfterReceiveReply(ref Message reply, object correlationState) { } void IEndpointBehavior.AddBindingParameters(ServiceEndpoint endpoint, BindingParameterCollection bindingParameters) { } void IEndpointBehavior.ApplyClientBehavior(ServiceEndpoint endpoint, ClientRuntime clientRuntime) { clientRuntime.MessageInspectors.Add(this); } void IEndpointBehavior.ApplyDispatchBehavior(ServiceEndpoint endpoint, EndpointDispatcher endpointDispatcher) { } void IEndpointBehavior.Validate(ServiceEndpoint endpoint) { } } Then, when you create your client add the message inspector as follows:
MemberAccountPortClient clientTransaction = new MemberAccountPortClient ("SERVICE"); clientTransaction.Endpoint.Behaviors.Add(new AuthorizationHeaderMessageInspector()); SearchTransactionResponseType res = clientTransaction.searchTransaction (OBJECT_1, OBJECT_2); I believe that WCF has a way to apply the IEndpointBehavior using configuration as well, but I usually go straight code for these types of things.
