401 Unauthorized - Invoke bot via API call

[YogeshMudaliar]

Hi

Trying to invoke a bot which has been exposed as a SOAP API. I am using Basic Authentication, and the built-in "admin" user (who has sys admin role permissions). Also tried with another user who has Web Service Consumer role and can "Execute Process" and "Execute Process as Web Service". I keep getting this error - "HTTP POST on resource 'http://bp-trial:8181/ws/Sum2Proc' failed: unauthorized (401)."

I am using trial version 7.0.1.

Any suggestions as to what may be causing this error? 

Any help much appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi @YogeshMudaliar,

​What are you using to invoke the SOAP service? Are you writing custom code, using SoapUI, etc?

Hi @ewilson, thank you so much for your response. Appears to be an issue with the gui-based configuration. Switched over to manually passing the Authorization details in the request header and this works. ​All good now! 🙂
