Hello,

Having a lot of issues getting HTTPCaller to acquire SOAP call certificates for authentication - spent many hours attempting workarounds.

I do not wish to go down the pythoncaller route with the python library issues potentially breaking the SOAP call.

However, why are there SSL configurations for FME's own Webservices which are not available to use in the HTTPCaller transformer???

Hi @mdfwrestler

 

 

The documentation you've linked is to secure FME Server, and I don't believe that it has any impact on the HTTPCaller.

 

 

I don't have much experience with SOAP calls, but I do know that the HTTPCaller doesn't have anything clever in it for HTTPS/SSL. If it needs certificates (for example, verify SSL is set to yes) it will look at the system certificates that have been installed. You can't install them anywhere within FME.

 

 

Are you able to share your workspace or a bit more about how you've set up the HTTPCaller and what you're expecting, or any error messages you're seeing?

Thanks for your feedback.
