Authentication Alternatives
StrikeIron offers two models for developers to integrate authentication into applications which leverage the StrikeIron Marketplace Web Services. Whether you need to authenticate within a SOAP header, or authenticate via parameter inside of the Web service method, StrikeIron gives you the flexibility to best fit your coding environment.
Authentication Passed as a Parameter within the Method
For situations where you want to authenticate using the parameters of a method, StrikeIron has created a simple way to
convert base WSDLs to accomodate this code.
To use this authentication model, simply replace
the "ws" in the StrikeIron WSDL with "wsparam". The WSDL is listed on each Product
Information page. For example,
To use this authentication model with Super Data Pack Web services, simply replace
the "sdpws" in the StrikeIron WSDL with "sdpwsparam". The WSDL is listed on each Product
Information page. For example,
- StrikeIron US Address Verfication: http://sdpws.strikeiron.com/USAddressVerification4_0?WSDL
is replaced by:
- http://sdpwsparam.strikeiron.com/USAddressVerification4_0?WSDL

Availability
This method currently works for all StrikeIron Marketplace Web Services and all Super Data Pack services.
This method is not currently supported within SOA Express for Excel. Please check back often as we are working on adding this feature in the near future. In addition, Classic ASP will not support authentication outside of the SOAP Headers, however this authentication model is supported for ASP.NET.

Authentication Passed in SOAP Headers
You can easily include authentication within the SOAP headers for your applications too.
To use this authentication model, simply use the WSDL that is listed on each Product Information page.
