No credentials available for BASIC 'api.constantcontact.com'@api.constantcontact.com:443
Hello,
I'm trying to update our application to use Basic authentication over https.
Two changes have been made:
1. URI looks like this now: "https://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/ourcompany/activities"
2. HttpClient API call has been change to use 'AuthPolicy.BASIC'.
Also, according to this resource: http://hc.apache.org/httpclient-3.x/sslguide.html, with HttpClient, we don't need to do anything extra in order to use SSL communications.
My problem is that, I'm getting 401 error with the following message:
Jun 20, 2009 12:12:10 AM org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodDirector processWWWAuthChallenge
INFO: No credentials available for BASIC 'api.constantcontact.com'@api.constantcontact.com:443
Could, please, anybody help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
This response indicates that
This response indicates that the Basic Authentication is not being set corretly in your HttpClient class. I would refer to the documentation on that class on how to implement Basic Authentication over a secury connection (https). Have you tried running the test case they suggested for ensuring your Apache server is set up correctly?

No, I have not ran that
No, I have not ran that test.
Could you please point me where I can find it?
still having problems
Dave,
I can't find any other settings for HttpClient in order to set it for basic authentication.
Would it be helpfull if I paste my code for your review?

Dave, I'm not getting anywhere and time is running out.
I'm posting trimmed down version of my code. Could you please take a look and see what is wrong.
public class ConstantContactActivityUpload {
public void upload(List<ConstantContactUploadInfo> infoList, int listKey) throws IOException {
UsernamePasswordCredentials credentials = setCredentials();
HttpClient httpClient = initialSetUp(credentials);
AuthDetails authDetails = extractAuthDetails();
RequestEntity requestEntity ...
String url = "https://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/ourcompany/activities";
this.postToServer(httpClient, requestEntity, url, uploadedValues.toString());
}
private HttpClient initialSetUp(UsernamePasswordCredentials credentials) {
HostConfiguration hostConfiguration = new HostConfiguration();
hostConfiguration.setHost("api.constantcontact.com");
AuthScope authScope = new AuthScope("api.constantcontact.com", 80, "api.constantcontact.com");
AuthPolicy.registerAuthScheme("Basic", BasicScheme.class);
HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient();
List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
list.add(AuthPolicy.BASIC);
httpClient.getParams().setParameter(AuthPolicy.AUTH_SCHEME_PRIORITY, list);
httpClient.getState().setCredentials(authScope, credentials);
return httpClient;
}
private void postToServer(HttpClient client, RequestEntity requestEntity, String url, String uploadedValues) throws HttpException, IOException {
PostMethod httpPost = new PostMethod(url);
httpPost.setRequestEntity(requestEntity);
client.executeMethod(httpPost);
}
private UsernamePasswordCredentials setCredentials() {...}
protected AuthDetails extractAuthDetails() {...}
}
You need to update your port in your AuthScope
Change the port fom 80 to 443 or to a negative number or to AuthScope.ANY_PORT.
