No support for WSSE authorization type

[vaishnavidesai]

1. Postman Version: 4.10.2
2. App (Chrome app or Mac app): Chrome App
3. OS details: x86-64
4. Is the Interceptor on and enabled in the app: Yes
5. Did you encounter this recently, or has this bug always been there: Feature not present in postman at all.
6. Expected behaviour:
7. Console logs (http://blog.getpostman.com/2014/01/27/enabling-chrome-developer-tools-inside-postman/ for the Chrome App, View->Toggle Dev Tools for the Mac app):
8. Screenshots (if applicable)

My automated API testing involves working with APIs which use an authorization method called WSSE.
The authentication happens using below parameters:

X-WSSE: UsernameToken Username="", PasswordDigest=" ", Nonce=" ", Created=" "

I didnt find a way in Postman that can help me do this.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Please add it also into stand alone Postman apps (Win, Mac, ...).

Same issue.. new to Postman and was disappointed not to find WWSE as an option. I'm going to try emulating with manual headers and I'll let you know how it goes.

Has this been addressed?

No

sooooooo you're just going to close the issue? Does this mean that it's not going to be addressed?

For the moment you can copy this full script:
https://github.com/vrruiz/wsse-js/blob/master/wsse.js
And add it to the Pre-request script section, then at the end you can do something like this:

var wsseHeader = wsseHeader(pm.environment.get("wsse-user"), pm.environment.get("wsse-secret")); pm.environment.set("wsse-header", wsseHeader);

Assuming that you already created the variables wsse-user and wsse-secret and you already set {{wsse-header}} as value in the X-WSSE header.

That works for me as workaround after trying without success to make a Pre Request script with the CryptoJS that is embedded in Postman.

This may be useful to someone. I'm connecting to a WCF SOAP service and was running into this error when trying to cut out the headers:

<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing">
    <s:Header>
        <a:Action s:mustUnderstand="1">http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing/soap/fault</a:Action>
        <a:RelatesTo>{{guid}}</a:RelatesTo>
    </s:Header>
    <s:Body>
        <s:Fault>
            <s:Code>
                <s:Value>s:Sender</s:Value>
                <s:Subcode>
                    <s:Value xmlns:a="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd">a:InvalidSecurity</s:Value>
                </s:Subcode>
            </s:Code>
            <s:Reason>
                <s:Text xml:lang="en-US">An error occurred when verifying security for the message.</s:Text>
            </s:Reason>
        </s:Fault>
    </s:Body>
</s:Envelope>

In my case, I got around the issue by setting the following in the soap:Header section of my request body:

<soap:Header xmlns:wsa="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing">
	<wsse:Security soap:mustUnderstand="true" xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd" xmlns:wsu="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd">
		<wsu:Timestamp>
			<wsu:Created>{{currentTime}}</wsu:Created>
			<wsu:Expires>{{newTime}}</wsu:Expires>
		</wsu:Timestamp>
		<wsse:UsernameToken>
			<wsse:Username>{{UserUsername}}</wsse:Username>
			<wsse:Password Type="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-username-token-profile-1.0#PasswordText">{{UserPassword}}</wsse:Password>
		</wsse:UsernameToken>
	</wsse:Security>
	<wsa:Action soap:mustUnderstand="1">http://mydomain.com/IMyService/MySoapAction</wsa:Action>
	<wsa:ReplyTo soap:mustUnderstand="1">
		<wsa:Address>http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing/anonymous</wsa:Address>
	</wsa:ReplyTo>
	<wsa:MessageID soap:mustUnderstand="1">{{guid}}</wsa:MessageID>
	<wsa:To soap:mustUnderstand="1">https://mydomain.com/myservice.svc/myservice.svc</wsa:To>
</soap:Header>

My prerequest contains:

var moment = require('moment');

var now = moment().toISOString()
var exp = moment().add(5, 'minutes').toISOString();

pm.environment.set('currentTime', now);
pm.environment.set('newTime', exp);

ive also created a wsse-header generating pre-request script which uses sha512 with multiple iterations for postman
https://github.com/munkiepus/wsse-sha512-js/blob/master/wsse-sha512.js

[everm1nd]

@munkiepus thanks for the script and idea with pre-request hook. it solved my issue. unfortunately original code wasn't working for me, so I wrote my own version: https://gist.github.com/everm1nd/1f0eee4df9d6369da9e0fad3d7529044

[YashPethe]

Hey. I found a solution, just put this on request body

soapenv:Header
<wsse:Security soapenv:mustUnderstand="1" xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd">
wsse:UsernameToken
wsse:UsernameXXXXX</wsse:Username>
<wsse:Password Type="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-username-token-profile-1.0#PasswordText">XXXXX</wsse:Password>
</wsse:UsernameToken>
</wsse:Security>
</soapenv:Header>

[tparikka]

@YashPethe That is only a partial solution and does not encompass all the security features that a service might require, such as timestamps, nonces, and more. Also that XML is malformed and wouldn't be accepted, as some of the tags are missing brackets or are mismatched.
