Hey nareshgholap,

It appears youre getting the soap fault due to some issue with the security credentials defined.

If i were you id double check the security requirements for your soap request and update accordingly. Thats where i suspect the problem is....the tag/atteibute contents within the UsernameToken tag container. The username, password, nonce tag values need to be double checked against the requirements.

Thanks for the reply. I rechecked all security requirements and retested, but I am getting same error.

I also tested with removing username token and timestamp, and it is giving me "401 unauthorized" error.

 

Thanks

    Hey nareshgholap,

    The 401 generated once you removed some of the security creds is as expected.

    I dont think soapui is behaving incorrectly. You mention an "oracle cloud demo". Can you supply a link to where you picked the demo up and i'll try and reproduce. I also want to read any of the additional detail regarding security for the soap service.

    Just so youre aware. Lots of software vendors supply demo .wsdls but quite often the lose support or completely disappear so you might be able to download the wsdl that defines the demo webservice but when you try and hit it, you find problems, hence the reason id like to pull it onto my my laptop to double check.

    If youre just trying to become familiar with using soapui for a soap service it might be advisable to try a different wsdl

      richie Thank you for support. I tested the web service in SOUP UI and it is giving me 200 OK response. This time I removed the ws security and placed it again. and it worked. I tested in similar manner multiple times and found that. I have to replace ws security every time before I test it. I think there is time limit for this. Do you know where we can change this time limit.

       

      Thanks

        Hey nareshgholap,

        When you say "removed the ws security and placed it again", what you actually mean by this and maybe provide a screenshot?

        The way im interpreting what you say is tht you edited the content of the wsdl (removing and adding the security details) and the submission worked afterwards.

        That doesnt make sense so im obviously misinterpreting, so could you please clarify exactly what you mean?
