Problem Description

==================

Some RosettaNet user’s trading partner’s
web site requires HTTPS + Basic Authentication. In this case, they have to
customize the default RNIFSend web page to support Basic Authentication.

Problem Resolution

==================

1.Add the
following code to CreateOuterHttpRequest method of RNIFSend.aspx.cs in
RosettaNet SDK.

request.PreAuthenticate
= true;

string username
= System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["BasicAuthUsername"];

string password
= System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["BasicAuthPassword"];

NetworkCredential
credential = new NetworkCredential(username,
password);

CredentialCache
credentialCache = new CredentialCache();

credentialCache.Add(url,
"Basic", credential);

request.Credentials
= credentialCache;

2.Modify the
first line of RNIFSend.aspx as:

<%@ Page
language="c#" CodeFile="RNIFSend.aspx.cs"
AutoEventWireup="false"
Inherits="Microsoft.Solutions.BTARN.RNIFSend.RNIFSend" %>

3.Add the following section to web.config.

               
<appSettings>

                               
<add key="BasicAuthUsername" value="Administrator"/>

                               
<add key="BasicAuthPassword" value="Password01!"/>

               
</appSettings>

4. Compile the web page and use the
following steps to deploy:

• 
  Create a new virtual directory
  on IIS for customized RNIFSend page.
• 
  Configure the vdir to use
  BTARNAppPool application pool.
• 
  Copy all files(RNIFSend page,
  Web.config and the Bin folder) to physical path of the new created vdir.
• 
  Set BasicAuthUsername and
  BasicAuthPassword in Web.config.
• 
  Change BizTalk send port of the
  partner from using default RNIFSend page’s url to new url of the vdir.
