I\'m using the Jersey client API to submit SOAP requests to a JAX-WS webservice. By default Jersey is somehow using my Windows Nt credentials for authentication when challen

Answer 1

Adding this answer as I keep finding answers for older versions of Jersey that are no longer relevant in 2.x.

For Jersey 2 there are several ways. Take a look at:

JavaDoc for org.glassfish.jersey.client.authentication.HttpAuthenticationFeature

Here is the one that is working for me (simplest basic auth IMHO).

    ClientConfig config = new ClientConfig();

    HttpAuthenticationFeature feature = HttpAuthenticationFeature.basic("username", "password");

    Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient(config);
    client.register(feature);

    WebTarget webTarget = client.target("http://api.asite.com/api").path("v1/reports/list");
    Invocation.Builder invocationBuilder =  webTarget.request(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN_TYPE);

    Response response = invocationBuilder.get();

    System.out.println( response.getStatus() );
    System.out.println( response.readEntity(String.class) );
