Description

 When calling web services from an external system (e.g. SoapUI tool) you might get below error:

401 -Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials

(Screenshot attached).

Applies To

Foundation 11.x.x & 12.x.x -- SoapUI 5.5.0

Cause

The user needs to be a licensed Winshuttle user.

The request needs to be a soap request using NTLM authentication.

Solution/Immediate Workaround

The main point to take into consideration here is that the user making the request should be with in the same OS domain and should have a valid Winshuttle license. 

In case the user is not in the same domain this would be a  cross domain request onto IIS.

In this case both domains need to have a trusted relationship setup.

You also might come across this error:

A new request was tried and we received the error  "No worker associated error". 

 Make sure that Winshuttle Worker and Launch GUI worker services are up and running.

SAP-IS should be installed and setup.

Make sure that you have published the Winshuttle scripts to the SAP-IS and as XML Webservice.

If the soap request still fails create a new soap request after each configuration change.
