Digest Authentication ZSI 1.7
Just for the record. After accepting that pythons build-in digest
authentication (HTTPDigestAuthHandler) does *NOT* work, I made my own
digest authentication handler and built it into ZSI, they have recieved
and accepted the patch so it should be part of the next ZSI release
(current 1.7).
I have tested the implementation with Microsoft MapPoint services,
seems OK:
#-------------------------------------
#Usage example (MapPoint SOAP Services):
#-------------------------------------
from CommonService_services import *
loc = FindServiceLocator()
import sys
import ZSI
kw={'tracefile':sys.stdout, 'auth' : (
ZSI.AUTH.httpdigest, 'username', 'passwd') }
portType = loc.getFindServiceSoap(**kw)
AddressLine='Lergravsvej 28'
PostalCode='8660'
CountryRegion='DK'
InputAddress = ns1.Address_Def()
InputAddress._AddressLine = AddressLine
InputAddress._PostalCode = PostalCode
InputAddress._CountryRegion = CountryRegion
specification = ns1.FindAddressSpecification_Def()
specification._InputAddress = InputAddress
specification._DataSourceName = 'MapPoint.EU'
request = FindAddressSoapInWrapper()
request._specification = specification
res = portType.FindAddress(request)
#-----------------------------------------

Digest MD5 authentication over using ZSI

Hi.
I am trying to get through to Microsoft MapPoint Services using ZSI for
soap handling. I can generate the service classes and also the
soap-requests generated by the service classes seem to be OK. The
problem I am facing is that I can't seem to authenticate myself. I have
made a small change to ZSI.client so that when I get a "401
Unauthorized" response from the remote server I build up a nice
authorization request:
POST /Find-30/FindService.asmx HTTP/1.1
Host: findv3.staging.mappoint.net
Accept-Encoding: identity
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; MS Web Services Client
Protocol 1.1.4322.573)
SOAPAction: "http://s.mappoint.net/mappoint-30/FindAddress"
Authorization: Digest username="106288", realm="MapPoint",
nonce="91168da8e3a097f41264875211009a194b99a94ffe5bc619415820880a5b",
uri="/Find-30/FindService.asmx",

The problem is that the server won't authorize me. I have a C# .net
program that does exactly the same I'm trying in python, and it is
authorized nicely:
POST /Find-30/FindService.asmx HTTP/1.1

So I guess the problem is in the Digest calculation. Unfortunately I
don't know much about the issue but I have managed to "steel" this from
urllib2 and changed it a bit to fit my usage (see below).
1. Can I do this another way?
2. Has anybody made a digest MD5 authenticator for ZSI?
3. Whats wrong with my calculation or is it the header??
4. Can I use urllib2 to test the authentication part of a Soap Service.

I wrote a ZSI_Transport module to pass to client.Binding. It emulates enough of httplib.HTTPConnection to satisfy ZSI, and calls urllib2 to handle the proxy. That's kind of an upside down approach, since in my opinion, ZSI should be using urllib2 directly, but it gets the job done. I'm using it with 2.0rc2. I don't know if the approach is still valid with the latest release. I haven't obtained permission from my employer to publish the code, but I'd be happy to answer any questions I can about how I did it.
