I'm trying to integrate with Sharepoint Services, and need to connect to the server using NTLM authentication. I can't get the following lines of code to work: WSDL\_URL = '[http://sharepoint.wavetronix.local/\_vti\_bin/lists.asmx?WSDL](http://sharepoint.wavetronix.local/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?WSDL)' soap = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(WSDL\_URL).create\_rpc\_driver I keep getting a 401, "Unauthorized" error. This code does work: client = HTTPClient.new client.set\_auth(nil, 'DOMAIN\username', 'password') response = client.get(WSDL\_URL) All examples I find show setting authorization properties AFTER the create\_rpc\_driver call above. I need to authorize BEFORE so I can actually access the WSDL file. How do I do this? Andy Porter p: (801) 319-0475 | e: [partydrone@me.com](mailto:partydrone@me.com) ---

The example you give on your blog, like all the others I've seen, assumes the WSDL file is "in the open." In my case, I have to authenticate in order to even get to it. Your example creates the driver first, then adds authentication for subsequent requests. I can't even create the driver. The SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new() call fails every time with a 401, "Unauthorized" error. Also, I'm using the SOAP libraries in Ruby 1.8.6. It's my understanding that soap4r was integrated into this version of Ruby.

I'm not sure it'll be totally helpful. But the tutorial I wrote on adding extra header using SOAP4R may point you in the right direction. [http://dan-webb.co.uk/wordpress/?p=13](http://dan-webb.co.uk/wordpress/?p=13) SOAP4R was integrated in 1.8.6 but is an old and buggy version of it. So you Hiro recommends you update it and use the newer version (1.5.8) Cheers, Dan > **···** > > -----Original Message----- > From: Andrew Porter [mailto:partydrone@me.com] > Sent: 27 March 2009 16:01 > To: ruby-talk ML > Subject: Re: SOAP and NTLM Authentication > > The example you give on your blog, like all the others I've seen, > assumes the WSDL file is "in the open."

Since you have shown you can get the WSDL, can't you just use it locally when generating your client? wsdl2ruby --wsdl \ --type client --force > Also, I'm using the SOAP libraries in Ruby 1.8.6.

The following code seems to be working: require 'rubygems' gem 'soap4r' require 'defaultDriver' user = 'DOMAIN\username' pass = 'password' driver = ListsSoap.new driver.options['protocol.http.auth.ntlm'] = [nil, user, pass] driver.wiredump\_file\_base = 'soap.log' lists = driver.getListCollection(nil) I used the wsdl2ruby utility and generated the files.
