[vwnc] Web services over HTTPS with Client Authentication

Janko Mivšek
Hello all,

Is there a SSL support for client authentication for HTTPS and specially
 for SOAP (WSDLClient) already done and if it is , how to use it?

I namely need to connect from my app to an external SOAP server which
demands a SSL client authentication with a digital certificate.

So far I managed to connect HTTPS to the server but of course I got 403
as a response. I'm using VW7.6. Is there something new in VW7.7 in that
respect?

Thanks for advance for any hint
Janko

Hi Martin,

Thanks for a prompt response with this valuable information. Now I'm on
the wall again: my web services provider sent me a certificate and
private key in a .pfx file (PKCS #12 Personal inFormation eXchange).

As I understand I need now to import that into a SSLContext somehow,
probably with a #rsaCertificatePair: method? So I need to get two things
from a .pfx file, one is a public certificate and another is a private
key? Is there a way to read and set the context directly from that .pfx?

Thanks again and best regards
Janko
