Hello
Has anybody successfully connected from non windows system to NAV 2009 web service?
There is no documentation on how to authenticate with 2009.

I believe in Java Sun has implemented the Kerberos authentication.
Any info would be appreciated.

    You can find a couple of samples on Web Services from Javascript on my blog.

    Hello Freddy

    In you example you are using "Msxml2.XMLHTTP.4.0". I don't it can be used in non windows OS or java.


    xmlhttp.open("POST", URL, false, null, null);

    you are passing null for login and pw.

    So where is the authentication done or how?

    Correct you probably cannot load the MsXML ActiveX on non-windows.
    I read a couple of places that newer browser can do
    xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();

    But I haven't tried non-windows platforms.
    Reg authentication - javascript in the (Internet Explorer Browser under Windows) is executed in the context of the user and it supports windows authentication.
    You would probably have to create a user (maybe with deny login) which you use for this purpose.
