Basic Auth and Endpoint Explorer
I'm slightly embarassed to post this, but I'm currently stumped on the issue. Question: What are the potential issues that would allow Endpoint Explorer to succeed when a test step for the same URI fails? Basically, while using Endpoint Explorer I get a proper and successful response from an API that requires basic authentication while it fails in a test step. I was using Endpoint Explorer to troubleshoot the authentication issue at the time I succeeded in receiving a proper response message. The last thing I had configured, and I know this may seem odd, was Outgoing and Incoming WS-Security Configurations. I have even configured the Keystore, the Username and Password in the Request Properties, and the Auth Basic (Built-in) Authorization tab. At the API level, I don't see the the basic Authentication creditials request, so I'm basically trying everything I can think of to authenticate. The keystore configuration was done as an earlier effort to automated the x.509 authentication, but was put on hold in favor of getting tests created over basic auth first. (see below example URI and the responses I've gathered) Example: GET https://<FQDN>/otm-console/controllers/SelectZone/json Fail Response using Test Step (redirect options "on"): HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Wed, 09 Oct 2019 21:54:45 GMT Server: JBoss-EAP/7 Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=600 X-Powered-By: Undertow/1 X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN Accept-Ranges: bytes Last-Modified: Sat, 05 Oct 2019 01:48:26 GMT Content-Type: text/html Content-Length: 2898 Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=100 Connection: Keep-Alive <html style="min-width: 600px; overflow: initial"> <head> <style id="antiClickjack">body{display:none !important;}</style> </head> <body style="min-width: 600px; overflow: initial"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="vendor/css/bootstrap.min.css" crossorigin="anonymous"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/welcome.css"> <script src="vendor/js/jquery.min.js" crossorigin="anonymous"></script> <script src="vendor/js/bootstrap.min.js" crossorigin="anonymous"></script> <script src="login_config.js" crossorigin="anonymous"></script> <script src="login.js" crossorigin="anonymous"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> if (self === top) { var antiClickjack = document.getElementById("antiClickjack"); antiClickjack.parentNode.removeChild(antiClickjack); } else { top.location = self.location; } </script> <header> <nav class="navbar navbar-default navbar-fixed-top jfd-nav-header"> <div class="header"> <div class="classBar"></div> </div> </nav> </header> <div class="container agreement-container"> <div class="agreement"> <p><h4><strong>TEXT</strong></h4></p> <p>TEXT</p> <ul> <li>Text <li>Text <li>Text <li>Text <li>Text </ul> <div class="text-center"> <button class="btn btn-primary" onClick="window.open('welcome.html', '_self'); return false;">I Accept</button> </div> </div> </div> <div class="navbar navbar-default navbar-fixed-bottom"> <div class="classBar"></div> </div> </body> </html> Other Info Gathered: If I insert a previously used JSESSIONID into the header the response is: HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized Server=JBoss-EAP/7 Strict-Transport-Security=max-age=600 WWW-Authenticate=Basic realm="HAB" X-Powered-By=Undertow/1 Content-Type=text/html;charset=UTF-8 Content-Length=114 Set-Cookie=JSESSIONID=abcdefghijklmnopqurtuvReadMe.avf-d-hab; path=/hab Access-Control-Allow-Origin= Success Response using Endpoint Explorer: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date=Wed, 09 Oct 2019 21:53:05 GMT Server=JBoss-EAP/7 Strict-Transport-Security=max-age=600 X-Powered-By=Undertow/1 Content-Type=application/json Content-Length=343 Access-Control-Allow-Origin=* Keep-Alive=timeout=15, max=97 Connection=Keep-Alive {"page":1,"total":1,"records":2,"rows":[{"id":"ABC","cell":["ABC ","ABC","ABC_Default ","SQL ","POSTGRES ","ActiveMQSSL "," "," "]},{"id":"CDB","cell":["CDB ","CDB","CDB_Default ","SQL ","POSTGRES ","ActiveMQSSL "," "," "]}]} What are the potential issues that would allow Endpoint Explorer to succeed when a test step for the same URI fails?
