Hi,
I am using .Net AXLAPIService.cs class to query CUCM 6.x. I used the wsdl.exe to generate the .Net code and related stubs. I made all the changes to the generated code as per the instructions in the read me file. When I send a request
ListPhoneByNameReq





I am getting authenticagtion failure. Can one any help what I may be doing wrong

Thanks


private



void getPhoneList()
{



string ServerNameOrIPAddress = "xx.xx.xx.xx";


string UserName = "user";


string Password = "password";


AXLAPIService axlService = new AXLAPIService(ServerNameOrIPAddress, UserName, Password);


ListPhoneByNameReq listPhone = new ListPhoneByNameReq();
listPhone.searchString =

"%";


ListPhoneByNameRes result = axlService.listPhoneByName(listPhone);


System.

Console.WriteLine(result.ToString());
}

Hi,

Have you granted the AXL role to the end user or application user that you are using to authenticate?

Note, that by default this role is not associated with a group, so you will need to create a new group, add the AXL role to this group and then make your user a member of the group.

You can test your user's permission to run AXL by accessing https://yourserver:8443/axl/ from a browser. You should get prompted for a username and password. Once you enter this you should see a message stating the AXL is ready.

One other thing to check is that the AXL service has been started on your publisher server - by default this service is not active. Check from the servicability page in CCMAdmin.
