Unable to access AIF web service using SOAP Client

Posted on by Community Member

I created a test project with tables, data/service contract classes and service and service group as following:

After deploying, I am even able to access and view the GetEntityList data using a .Net console application

ServiceReference1.
EntityServiceClient _Client = new ServiceReference1.EntityServiceClient();
ServiceReference1.
CallContext _CallContext = new ServiceReference1.CallContext();
_CallContext.Company =
"dat";
ServiceReference1.
CustomEntityDataContract[] _entityList = _Client.GetEntityList(_CallContext);
// ColorServiceGroup.ColorDC _Dc ;
foreach (ServiceReference1.CustomEntityDataContract _Dc in _entityList)
{
Console.WriteLine(_Dc.EntityName);
}
Console.ReadKey();

The problem is that I need to access it using a SOAP Client, tried creating lots of SOAP envelope messages but unable to view the service data. What I think I could be missing is the proper authentication tags in SOAP header, which I have no idea of, plz specify.

The header I have tried so far is like:

<s:Envelope xmlns:a="www.w3.org/.../addressing" xmlns:s="www.w3.org/.../soap-envelope">
<s:Header>
    <a:Action s:mustUnderstand="1">schemas.microsoft.com/.../GetEntityList&lt;/a:Action>
    <h:CallContext i:nil="true" xmlns:i="www.w3.org/.../XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:h="schemas.microsoft.com/.../datacontracts" />
    <a:ReplyTo>
    <a:Address>www.w3.org/.../anonymous&lt;/a:Address>
    </a:ReplyTo>
  </s:Header>
  <s:Body>
    <EntityServiceGetEntityListRequest xmlns="http://tempuri.org" />
  </s:Body>
</s:Envelope>

Any help would be highly appreciated.

The .NET solutions sends a SOAP message too (because that's how communication with SOAP services works), therefore you can look at what exactly is sends.

But if you have a problem with authentication, it may fail even before sending the the message.

If you need some advice from us, please explain the problem in detail - "unable to view the service data" doesn't sound very specific.

Exactly, I am trying to capture the calls using fiddler, though it is logging for other browser calls, but not logging for console application calls. Tried modifying machine.config to set fiddler ip and port as proxy, but still cant see the logging.

I will also share the WSDL service response here, it would be helpful if anyone can provide some hint on correcting the request body

As far as authentication is concerned, in AX Administration > Setup > Users list has domain names, user alias etc, but no password.

So, according to technet.microsoft.com/.../aa872025.aspx if I add a <LogonAsUser> tag, would it simply be like this:

<LogonAsUser>[domainname]/[useralias]</LogonAsUser>

I guess you're using TCP protocol, while Fiddler capture communication over HTTP.

I meant WCF authentication; setup in AX becomes relevant only when you're authorized to call the service. Because you didn't give me more information, I can't say what happens in your case and I can't offer any solution without knowing the problem.
