Hi

I am trying to call a webservice that requires ws security

the password needs to be sent as a password digest ... so i am trying to
do this in RPGLE
from google, I found that a password digest is created as digest =
base64_encode( sha1 ( nonce + TimeStampCreated + pwd ) )

I also suspect I have to make some translation to/from ASCII/EBCDIC

I am only converting the initial string to ASCII then calculate the hash,
encode in base 64 then use the value in the soap payload and post using
LIBHTTP...

here is some extract of my code

todig = %trim(snonce)+%trim(fmttmp(tmpCreate))+%trim(pwd) ;
//convert to ASCII using QDCXLATE
translate(%len(todig) : todig : 'QTCPASC');
p_recv = %addr(digest);
p_src = %addr(todig);
// calculate sha1 using _CIPHER
cipher( p_recv: sha_controls : p_src);
// translate to base 64 using BASE64R4 (LIBHTTP SK)
base64_encode(%addr(digest ): digestLen :%addr(digest64) : d64Len) ;


but until now I have had no success.... so posting here to receive some
hint...

any help welcome
thank you

Paul
