Flex :: Call Web Service With Basic Authentication?
Mar 27, 2012
I want to call web service which has basic authentication.once url get authenticated then want to call particular service example xyz() which takes 2 parameter and return a flag .
How would one create a video or audio stream using OSMF when there must be basic authentication on the url?Can one feed in Audio/Video using HTTPService to provide the header authentication?
I have a flex app hosted on a windows server running IIS. That same server has some rest services that the app interacts with. The rest services have windows authentication so that their urls cannot be called without credentials. The flex app needs to be accessible to the public so its files are accessed by enabling anonymous access. The problem is of course that when the app tries to call the rest services the browser pops a dialog box asking for windows username and pass. I naively hoped that if I set the anonymous access on the flex site to use the credentials of a windows account that had permission to view the rest services that would resolve the matter. I hoped that IIS would see the browser used the proper creds to view the flex app and use those same creds to get the rest services. Wrong, that didn't work.
So is what I want impossible? I'd like to find a way to not force the user to enter windows creds, keep the rest services using windows authentication, and have the flex app able to access the rest urls. Any ideas? Am I missing something? Also, it may turn out that the flex app is running on http and the rest services must be called with https. Does that change your answer?
I am trying to access a .Net service which requires an authentication header. If WebService is used it works fine. But when it is accessed using HTTPService it throws error. The project is already done by somebody else using HTTPService. Now changing to webService requires some time since there needs to be modification in a lot of files.
Below is the SOAP envelop required by the service.
i would like to open a URL in a new browser tab from Flash (by clicking on a button). The page is protected with basic http authentication (the browser displays the login window), but i would like this authentication to be automatic.
The code i have now is this:
Code: var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("some_URL"); urlRequest.data = new URLVariables("name=John+Doe"); urlRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.GET;
[Code]....
I have a system where users authenticate over Flash and then they should be able to browse various folders on the server, which are protected with the same user/pass and i don't want them to enter the authentication twice.
My flex 3.5 application has an audio player whose content is accessed by calling an AMF service to get the mp3 data. As far as I can tell, flash.media.Sound is initialized with a URLRequest, so it's not clear to me how I can provide it with data using my RemoteObject.
I want to do one of the following things:
Provide data to the Sound object's load method from a RemoteObject service call. Create a URLRequest object that will perform the requisite AMF wrapping so that my service implementation will look exactly like any other service call if at all possible. Any alternative that allows me to invoke a PHP4 AMF service and play the audio it returns in a Flash audio player.
I have some problem with calling web service from flex. I have service with name UserService with one method string GetData(int i). I want to call this method from flex and get data. My code is here:
protected function application1_creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void uService = new UserService(); uService.addEventListener("hello", echoResultHandler); uService.GetData(1);
Is it possible to call a web service from within Flash (using AS3)? Or is the best idea to put the flash movieclip in a Flex container and use the Flex Libraries?
To be clear, when I say within Flash, I mean within the Flash CS4, AS3 programming environment.
I'm trying to find the IP address of a client when they make a particular LCDS service call. Understanding all the issues of getting a "real" IP address and privacy concerns and so on, it is possible to find the client's IP address?
I'm using Flash Builder 4 Beta 2. I have it connecting to a PHP service. The way I set this up was using the wizard, so I didn't actually write the code to connect to it.[code]...
One of the functions that I'm calling fetches users from a MySQL database. There are about 30,000 users right now. The service seems to timeout when fetching more than around 22,000 rows, I get the "Channel Disconnected before an acknowledgement was received" error. If I call the PHP script from a browser, it fetches them all with no problems at all, however. I have tried increasing the timeout in the PHP script (which didn't work), but obviously this isn't the problem since the browser is able to pull them up with no problems.
I am trying to learn the new services method in flex 4. but i cant get it work. A test oparation near the service in flash builder 4 works. But when i run the code i get NetConnection.Call.Failed: HTTP: Failed.
CODE: PHP
<?php class AuthService { public function login($username, $password) {[code].......
I have a flex client connecting to a web service that needs an authentication token added as a header, named "Identity". An example of the expected message is[code]...
I am experiencing a strange problem when I want to bind a service to a button or something else:
[Code]...
I can add the services to the Data Services panel but I have two strange things:
1) when I want to configure the return type he doesn't let me create a new ValueObject type, I only get the bottom datagrid which states: Properties returned by the operation: Property: country_Id, provence_Id, city_Id, id_cdpc, district_Id with the related values on the right side. Why can't I create a new data type on the top?
2) When I accept this and want to add the service call to a button (drag&drop) I get the following error: Error occurred while generating code. Make sure that there are no compiler eroors and try again after reopening the file. Componentn type services.cdpc.CDPC not found... (ps: When I perform a Test Operation everything seems to be ok, I get the expected output values)
Flash is calling a web-service on frame 1. It works fine within Flash IDE, but not otherwise..... such as running the .swf locally or on a server. I receive the error about flash player stopping a potentially unsafe operation. I've tried Security.allowDomain, Security.allowInsecureDomain, as well as changing some parameters in the html object embed code. (None of which worked obviously)
With further research, it seems like I'm going to need loadPolicyFile(); however, would someone tell me if I'm heading down the right path or just wasting even more time trying to solve this?
Below is a link to an example web service that I'm hoping you guys can tell me what I'm doing wrong. I have this dictionary app that works great when I'm in flash and preview it, but when I publish it and view it on the web, it simply doesn't work. I'm not sure what I'm missing. The link below has links to the project in CS5 and CS4.
I'm making a call to an API function on a server through my swf file. The service is supposed to return an XML.
In Firefox, this works perfectly fine, when I print it out, I get the XML string.
But in IE or in Chrome, I get nothing back. Well, when I print out what comes back it prints out as UNKNOWN. Unfortunately I don't have access to the api so I don't know if that's actually a string that is sent back, or if that is something that flash is printing out.
Has anyone had problems with calling services from different browsers not working?
I can't really provide the code as it's proprietary... But, more info, the urlRequest is also sending header requests along with it.
I wrote an app using adobe flash builder that makes an http data service call to a website.
When I build and launch the app it loads in my browser (the address in the broswer is C:Userspath omyapp.html) and works perfectly. However, when I upload the app to my website or even launch it from outside the project build directory, the HTTP service call fails with the popup
Of course I googled this error and realized it may have something to do with a 'crossdomain.xml' in my web root directory. I tried this and it continued to fail. Below was my crossite domain file
I want to have flex portlets side by side with JSP portlets. How can we implement the authentication mechanism? [ Authentication will be handled by the portal and how can we share the same session with flex portlets ]
I am developing an application in Adobe Flex. This application is to be hosted on a Joomla Website. I want to achieve Single Sign On between my Joomla website and this Flex Application. The Users log in using the default Joomla Mechanisms however I want the username as well as some other details about the user inside my Flex Application.
Some background: I have a Flex app embedded in an HTML page and am using Flex to send a soap request to my Java backend that does some authentication depending on the username and password entered in the Flex form. If I enter the correct login everything works fine and the Flex app can continue making further requests. But with an incorrect username/password, an "Authentication Required" dialog box pops up in my Browser and my Flex app won't respond with its proper handler until I click cancel. I'd like to get rid of the dialog box somehow,
We have a situation where a web application within an intranet requires windows authentication. This way employees of the company can login to their desktops and have automatic access to the web application and also be identified automatically without having to login because Windowns Authentication takes care of that. The problem is that we've added a Flex module to the web application. The web application comes up fine and authenticates the user can then navigate to the page where we have the Flex application. Which loads fine. The problem is that the Flex application also needs to communicate with the same server about this user but this communication is not working and is prompting the user for a password. Even if the correct user/pass is entered it fails and the Flex application can't talk to the server which requires Windows authentication.
Our expectations was the since the IE browser housing the flex application was already authenticated that all communication from the Flex app would also carry with it the necessary information to enable it to access the server without authentication.
In AIR on Mac, when I send login creds to a service and they're incorrect, AIR displays a native popup window to try logging in again without dispatching an error event. Twitter provides a header (suppress_response_codes=true), which returns any error as a status 200 with the error message. I'm using HTTPService to connect to a service without a header like this. Are there any properties or headers I can send to avoid this popup?
I have flex client application with php as a server and i want to implements domain user and password authentication. I'm sending the user and the password from the flex client through httpservice to php script and the php script authenticate the user and the password with the domain But! I want to encrypt the user's password in flex and to decrypt it in the php. I have the as3crypto.swc module for the flex but I don't find any way to decrypt it in the php. So, how can I do that and If this is not the right way to do that how can I do that?
I have a web application developed using flex and cakephp. My client need to make a desktop application of that web application using Adobe Air. The conversion of the flex to Air is done successfully. I the flex application the communication of flex and cakephp is handled using a remotes controller. In air application I have a problem of authenticating the user with cakephp default user authentication
Almost everything is in the title : Here's what I'd like to do :A nice html page with a php authentication process (http first then http**s** & so on) Launch a flex app which knows (I don't know how (this is the actual question !)) the user has already been authenticated and display his/her stuff he/she has to do for the day (or whatever...).
Of course if someone try to call directly the flex app I would display an "authentication error" message and then redirect to the authentication page.I'm sorry for my English which is perfectible.I was thinking about the session cookie : first authenticate then ass a variable on the server side, something like :
