A webservice i need to access with navision needs certificate authentication and navision also needs to accept the certificate sent by the webservice.Is there a way navision can send and accept a certificate? I saw that WinHttp has a setclientcertificate but when i use that the webservice returns a 'A certificate is required to complete client authentication' error.

    Hi
    I guess you want to consume a 3rd party webservice, don't you? We did this several times, also on ssl. As far as I rembember we just had to accept the certificate on the machine from where the webservices were consumed, and once it worked with internet explorer it worked also with navision. In another case all the clients (inhouse) did use a proxy service and only the proxy service connected to the real werbservice.
    Hope this helps.

    Is the webservice consumed from many webservice so you want a silent install of the certificate?

    Thank you for your question. The 3rd party webservice is consumed from many computer (NAV clients). The certificates are installed. I need suppress any display of window to confirm the certificate when webservice is called via 'Microsoft WinHTTP Services, version 5.1'.WinHttpRequest like this WinHTTPServer.Send(request);.

    Hi
    I know what you mean but I dont know the answer. But someone should know it, for example the publisher of the certificate.
    Another possibility is to use a kind of internal proxy service on one server. In this case, clients are pointing to the proxy, proxy is pointing to the real web service.

    Morning,

    nobody have never used XMLHttp.send(XMLDocument) with SSL comunication, almost with certificate installed on NAV server?

    My code is :

    XMLHttp.open('POST','http://www.xxxxxx.it/xxxx-web-services services',FALSE);

    XMLDocument.loadXML('<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"'
    + ' xmlns:xsd="http://www.sgate.ancitel.it/xsd/">'
    + ' <soapenv:Header/>'
    + ' <soapenv:Body>'
    + ' <xsd:richiestaPresaInCaricoLotto>'
    + ' <xsd:mittente>'
    + ' <xsd:login>user</xsd:login>'
    + ' <xsd:password>xxxxx</xsd:password>'
    + ' </xsd:mittente>'
    + ' <xsd:idUltimoLottoRicevutoCorrettamente>446983721</xsd:idUltimoLottoRicevutoCorrettamente>'
    + ' <xsd:numeroMessaggi>5</xsd:numeroMessaggi>'
    + ' </xsd:richiestaPresaInCaricoLotto>'
    + ' </soapenv:Body>'
    + '</soapenv:Envelope>');

    //Sending XML Response
    XMLHttp.send(XMLDocument);
    //Captureing the Final Response
    XMLDocument.load(XMLHttp.responseXML);

    // Save XML result
    XMLDocument.save('C:\Dati\Path\Log\xml.xml');

    No It don't work becouse i don't know how read a certificate that I necessity for connect to external web services using HTTPS protocol and certificate.

    I have read that you have resolved using WinHttp, but how did you have read the certificate?
