    From the build config youll need to conifigure a user. 

     

    Add a user that will be used for the interactive session. (Credentials) 


    Whether thats a test user or your own AD user as long as its valid and has relevant permissions you should be good. 

     

    Try that and let me know how it works

    Ok, just reporting that I did manage to get it working.  The issue was actually a corrupted x64 installation.  Couldn't do a clean uninstall either, so had to do it manually and copy over a clean install from another server, e.g. files, folders, registry settings, etc.  But it works now.

Hi,

 

I have seen similar issues those you are describing, perhaps since version 5.0. The signature and timestamp functionity seems to work ok, but the encrytion causes that null response - I think its to do with the WSS4j related libraries that SoapUI bundles, and is in fact a confusing, but hopefully quite easily fixed bug. This post relates to the same problem and provides details of a solution by way of copying in the newer / required library version:

Hope this helps,

Cheers,

Rupert

Yes, thank you very much.  I suspected it had something to do with a different version of WSS4J, but I would not have been able to quickly pin it down to that jar.

 

I replaced xmlsec-1.4.5.jar with xmlsec-1.5.8.jar in the SoapUi installation lib folder, and that solved the problem as you described.

 

I appreciate the help very much.

 

Regards

    Hi Andy,

     

    You're welcome, am happy to save someone else some time - I remember finding this issue confusing and annoying wondering what the 'null' response actually meant!! :-)

     

    Ideally this issue should be patched in the actual product.

     

    Thanks,

    Rupert
