Thank you very much Phil! 

 

The thing is, the Oauth spec just mentioned putting the Access Token into HTTP header “Authorization”. I don’t think it applies to SOAP as this header is not visible from SOAP stack perspective.

 

So, when we talking about the soap header, are we talking about the header used by WS-Security? Could you please be kindly providing me one example on putting the Access Token into SOAP header and let me know which product is currently using this mechanism? 

 

Thanks a lot,
Grant.

Grant,

 

You put it in the soap header of course in the same spot as any other credential.  :-)

Hi all,

 

We were discussing the possibility to use Oauth2 token on SOAP in our product.

 

The preferred way in mentioned in RFC is of course to put it to HTTP Authorization header, but in this case it will beyond the scope of SOAP stack and I am not sure it shall be the correct way to go. It is also recognized that there is some implementation (such as salesforce) is using some SOAP header (“sessionId”) to put this token, but it looks like a private implementation and I did not find any specification supporting it.

 

Could any experts here illustrate any organization or forum is working on using Oauth2 token for SOAP request? As there are quite some legacy SOAP based web services, hopefully it is a question makes sense for you as well.

 

Thoughts?
