SoapUI 4.6.4 error: Server returned HTTP response code: 401 for URL

Question

I am trying to add a New SOAP Project in SoapUI 4.6.4. When I create a new soap project and type the Initial WSDL url: http://xx.xxx.x.xxx/Structure/DataEx?wsdl, I get the following error.

Error loading [http://xx.xxx.x.xxx/Structure/DataEx?wsdl]: org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlException: java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 401 for URL: http://xx.xxx.x.xxx/Structure/DataEx?wsdl

When I access the URL via a browser, it prompts me to enter username and password. After I enter that information, I am able to access the WSDL. I looked at the request header and the authorization of type Digest.

My question is, where in SoapUI 4.6.4 do I get to enter the authentication/authorization information so that I can get the WSDL into SoapUI.

Answer 1

This was a bug in the 4.6.4 version but was solved in the maintenance build which is available @ http://www.soapui.org/Downloads/soapui-pro-nightly-builds.html

This information is available on soapUI form where a user asked the same question.

Additionally, to handle authentication in your subsequent service requests you should check out soapUI's guide on the same.
