[ptt-users] [TestMaker 4.4] SOAP Protocol Authentication

[Frank Cohen]

Hi David: The self.protocol.setUsername and setPassword methods are  
the correct way to use SOAP basic authentication. Perhaps there is  
something else wrong. Is the SOAP service available over the public  
Internet? If so, please send it and I will look into it. Otherwise,  
use the Network Monitor and send me a trace of the network  
conversation between TestMaker and the service. Thanks. -Frank
