soap-x509-http

An X.509 http client for node-soap

This module provides an HTTP client for accessing web services that require X.509 certificates. It's based on node-soap's default HTTP client and relies on ws.js for the signing process.

Install

Install with npm:

npm install soap
npm install soap-x509-http

Usage

new X509HttpClient(requestOptions, singingCredentials); creates a new http client to be used on node-soap.

This example assumes that the web service requires a TLS client certificate. If this is not needed then the first parameter can be left empty.

var fs = require('fs');
var soap = require('soap');
var X509HttpClient = require('soap-x509-http');


var myX509Client = new X509HttpClient({
  pfx: fs.readFileSync('<your-client-certificate.pfx>'),
  passphrase: '<password>',
  ca: fs.readFileSync('<ca-certificate.pem>'),
  rejectUnauthorized: false
}, {
  key: fs.readFileSync('<your-client-key.pem>')
});


var wsdl = './WebService.wsdl';
var args = {name: 'value'};

soap.createClient(wsdl, {
  httpClient: myX509Client
},
function(err, client) {
  client.setEndpoint('<webservice-endpoint>');

  client.MyFunction(args, function(err, result) {
    console.log(result);
  });
});
