#DocuSignAPI: DocuSign Login using SOAP UI

Question

I am using the DocuSign API WSDL in my SOAP UI and trying to call a method but getting the error User_Authentication_Failed - Missing authentication header

In some post seen that Security token need to to use but not getting the security token in docusign instead we have Integrator key value.

Please if someone can provide the guidance here.

My SOAP UI request is:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:ns="http://www.docusign.net/API/3.0" xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

Answer 1

The documentation below may be a better outline of using authentication headers and the endpoint URL's:

https://www.docusign.com/p/APIGuide/APIGuide.htm#Introduction+Changes/Authentication.htm%3FTocPath%3DAuthentication%7C_____0

Below also outlines the above with Send On Behalf Of:

https://www.docusign.com/p/APIGuide/APIGuide.htm#Introduction+Changes/Send On Behalf Of Functionality.htm%3FTocPath%3DAuthentication%7C_____2

Since the header type you choose also determines which endpoint URL you should use, below are examples for the demo environment:

HTTP = https://demo.docusign.net/api/3.0/dsapi.asmx

SOAP = https://demo.docusign.net/api/3.0/api.asmx

Because you are utilizing SOAP, the correct endpoint would be the api.asmx .

In SOAP UI, you can:

• Select the endpoint drop down from the top
• [edit current]
• Populate the following URL: https://demo.docusign.net/api/3.0/api.asmx

You would also need to add your Integrator Key as well inside the authentication. The integrator key should always be in brackets "[ ]" as well.My example below:

<soap:Header>
    <wsse:Security xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd" xmlns:wsu="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd" soap:mustUnderstand="1">
        <wsse:UsernameToken wsu:Id="UsernameToken-1">
            <wsse:Username>[INTEGRATOR KEY]DS USERNAME</wsse:Username>
            <wsse:Password Type="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-username-token-profile-1.0#PasswordText">[PASSWORD]</wsse:Password>
        </wsse:UsernameToken>
    </wsse:Security>
</soap:Header>

Answer 2

In SOAP UI you will add the header and value for the request. Select the header button at the footer of the page and select add. You will add your authentication header here.
