Testing REST services with authentication from SOAPUI Pro

Hi,

We have a requirement to test REST services from SOAPUI Pro.

Initially we have a login window, like EntityManage. once you login then we will be able to access the REST services.

when I try to replicate the same from soapui, I struck up at the login page itself. this is similar to oauth authentication.

eg :

1 URL : http://SERVERNAME:5020/
after login
2 URL :http://SERVERBANE:5020/ui when will show all the rest services.

there after with the combination of key / secret encrypted values, Im supposed to access the rest services
Eg: 3 http://SERVERNAME:5020/ui/META

Everything described above has to be done from SOAPUI
When I hit the URL from soapui I get only login page. Im unable to pass the login credentials to the URL to login and continue further.

Does anyone worked on REST services with initial authentication ?

Need help

Thanks,
Phani

    Hi, I have the same scenario. Did you ever get resolution for this?

    Basically, I have the WADL but it can only be accessed by an authenticated user.

    Please help.

    Thanks!

    Hi Guys,

    Sorry for the late reply.

    If the REST services are wrapped with oauth1.0 authentication. We need to generate the Authorization header with the help of Key/Secret values, as descrived in the below article.

    http://xebee.xebia.in/2011/03/31/test-o ... ng-soapui/

    After generating the authorization header, include the variable as "Authorization" in the REST request test step, then the REST method can be invoked successfully.

    Thanks
