Example doAuthenticateUser request message in CUCM 8.5 AXLAPI

Question

The WSDL supplied by Cisco for the their AXLAPI web service is not consumable by WCF Add Service Reference or ASMX Add Web Reference - it produces code that blows up in the Xml Serializer

Apparently the WSDL works fine from Java toolkits

I only need to use one operation on the web service - doAuthenticateUser. Does anyone have an example request message so I can see what I have to build to send a message that gets accepted?

Answer 1

Just got this response from the Cisco forums so to complete this:

Sample Request:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns="http://www.cisco.com/AXL/API/8.5">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <ns:doAuthenticateUser sequence="1">
         <userid>cupuser1</userid>
         <!--You have a CHOICE of the next 2 items at this level-->
         <password>password</password>
<!--         <pin>?</pin> -->
      </ns:doAuthenticateUser>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

and a response for good measure
