EWS gSoap Connection with Impersonation

Question

all. I have next problem. I want to connect to mailbox with Impersonation rights. User Admin has Impersonation rights, and i know how to do it in C#. I have next code:

ExchangeServiceBindingProxy *proxy = new ExchangeServiceBindingProxy(endpoint.c_str());
soap *pSoap = proxy->soap;
pSoap->userid = "Admin";
pSoap->passwd = "PASSWORD";
pSoap->ntlm_challenge = "";
pSoap->authrealm = "Ursa-Minor";

pSoap->ssl_flags = SOAP_SSL_NO_AUTHENTICATION;
pSoap->keep_alive = true;   
soap_mode(pSoap,SOAP_IO_KEEPALIVE);

string smtp = "User1@no-such-email.com";

pSoap->header = new struct SOAP_ENV__Header();
pSoap->header->ns3__RequestServerVersion = new _ns3__RequestServerVersion();
pSoap->header->ns3__RequestServerVersion->Version = ns3__ExchangeVersionType__Exchange2007_USCORESP1;

if(!smtp.empty())
{
    pSoap->header->ns3__ExchangeImpersonation = new ns3__ExchangeImpersonationType();
    pSoap->header->ns3__ExchangeImpersonation->ConnectingSID = new ns3__ConnectingSIDType();
    pSoap->header->ns3__ExchangeImpersonation->ConnectingSID->union_ConnectingSIDType.PrimarySmtpAddress = &smtp;
    pSoap->header->ns3__ExchangeImpersonation->ConnectingSID->__union_ConnectingSIDType = 3;
}

As a resault i have this request:

It seems legit, but server response return error:

        </ns1:FolderIds>

Response even doesn`t have well formed xml. Well, i don`t know how to solve this problem at this moment.

Answer 1

To remove the mustunderstand attribute from the wsdl2h-generated source code declarations that produces the SOAP Header, use wsdl2h option -k.

Answer 2

This is an old question, but I had a little update on it: To those that may be experiencing issues with mustunderstand appearing due to using some gsoap plugin (for me it was with the wsse plugin, I know mustunderstand is part of that standard, but the service I am calling does not)

Anyway, to solve this I edited the header files in gsoap/import to remove the mustunderstand parts. This stopped the wsse header having mustunderstand included.
