SOAPUI Certificate authentication

Question

I am trying to hit a remote web service and check if the service is working. To hit the service I am using SOAPUI client. The first time I tried, I got a 403/Forbidden response. The team developing the remote service provided me with a digital certificate to use to making the request. How should I use this certificate for making the request. I am a fairly new to the concept of using digital certificates in web service authentication as well as to soap ui.

Answer 1

You need to configure soapui for client certificate authentication.

There are a number of ways to do this.

1. You can add an authentication option under the connection details for the project.
2. You can configure the certificates for the request under the ws-auth tab
