Rest web service error in OD8.1.12

[chouh]

We are running into issues with invoking rest web services using OD8.1.12 while using pre-emptive organization. The system returns a 401 unauthorized or login info not present error even when the credentials are provided. The AEP version is 8.1.2.
The same setup/project works when using OD 7.2.3.

It seems like an authentication issue. Which method of authentication is it using?

Hi,

It is using Basic/digest authentication. There was a known issue with axis2 1.8 where pre-emptive authentication was not supported. Could this be related to that? Are you able to call rest web services with pre-emptive authentication enabled in your test environment with the latest OD?

It looks like this is an issue remained unresolved for Axis2 1.8. It does not even have a workaround. I am afraid you would have to write your own java code to or use other APIs to do this REST operation with this type of authentication.
