Add specific authentication info at web service header

Question

User1368152036 posted

Hello all

We need to invoke a Web Service using the following header:
<soapenv:Header>
     <UsernameToken xmlns="http://siebel.com/webservices">myusername</UsernameToken>
     <PasswordText xmlns="http://siebel.com/webservices">mypassword</PasswordText>
     <SessionType xmlns="http://siebel.com/webservices">None</SessionType>
</soapenv:Header>

The WSDL does not contain any info about the header. Does anyone have any hints on how we can implement this in Visual Studio?

Hi Maria, you need to inject SoapHeader into your SOAP request by extending your proxy class with SoapHeader. following article clearly explains in detail, it was very usefull for me to come out of the same situation like yours...hope it will help u too..
