SOAP: Requestor authentication failed due to missing credentials although SOAP works fine.
Hi All,
We are getting multiple messages in our logging (PEGA 6.2 SP2).
They look like this.
2016-11-30 19:00:41,788 [ WebContainer : 29] [ STANDARD] [meaSenIGIWI:01.06.63] ( internal.services.ServiceAPI) ERROR usa10140.unix.corp|145.219.243.242|SOAP|AchmeaSenIGIWISvcSOAP|Services|BatchControleMeldingen|AE9E791B68EA67119F843945CB3858B45 - SOAP service [AchmeaSenIGIWISvcSOAP][Services][BatchControleMeldingen] failed:Requestor authentication failed due to missing credentials

This is what I get from my collegues from another department.
“This service is called from a Windows machine, I think this is standard WCF behaviour, at least I have seen it before.
It will first try without credentials and when that fails it will try with credentials, but I am not sure.
Some other collegue googled it and found this:
“This is normal, it's part of the HTTP authentication protocol, used to discover the authentication scheme the server uses, and it cannot be changed.”
When this is correct, then why am I getting al these errors in my PegaRules.log or might I have missed a setting somewhere to suppress these messages?
Kund regards,

You could see this kind of errors while testing the services through SOAP UI. Consider SOAP-Service rule uses basic authentication. There are two kind of Pre-Emptive auths named "Global" and "Pre-Emptive"
Preemptive means “HttpClient will send the basic authentication response even before the server gives an unauthorized response in certain situations, thus reducing the overhead of making the connection”.
Global HTTP Setting means “HttpClient will send the request without credentials then server throws exception, if authentication is enabled request resends with credentials again for same request.”
For external system it will be configurable to send the credential in the first request itself. Example in PRPC : Authentication Profile have preemptive check box to send the credential in first request itself.
