Hi there,
I’m facing some trouble with using ServiceStack v4 and SOAP. Long story short, I’m tasked with building a SOAP api that BizTalk should interact with.
When enabling the Auth plugin, i’m facing the same trouble as this guy on stackoverflow:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24369106/servicestack-authentication-provider-and-soap-conflict
Any suggestions on how to handle this? I would prefer to keep the Auth plugin enabled as I have built a custom “token” auth provider that works with the Authenticate attribute.
It’s unlikely SOAP clients support HTTP Basic Authentication, you should be able to use Credentials (i.e. UserName/Password) AuthProvider but the SOAP Client needs to support Cookies to be able to make subsequent authenticated requests.

+Demis Bellot Yes that is of course an issue - which is why I decided to create a “token auth provider” with auto-login like you suggested on this question: https://plus.google.com/109587042931756689212/posts/ibjo8VxTs9U
But I guess disabling the Auth feature and then implementing a custom request filter should do the trick?
Don’t think you’ll need to disable it, if you’re using your own Auth Provider you should be able to detect SOAP requests and handle them differently.

The issue is with the additional types that the AuthProvider registers and renders into the WSDL. When the Visual Studio BizTalk plugin does it’s magic, it tries to validate the entire type hierarchy so it ends up giving errors like:

And finally, I have these things registered in the DTO project’s AssemblyInfo to try and navigate around the issue:

Unfortunately the Assembly Contract namespaces only works for classes in that Assembly, i.e. you wont be able to redefine namespaces for types in different dls.
I’ve just added an Assembly Contract for ServiceStack.Client in this commit:
https://github.com/ServiceStack/ServiceStack/commit/b9bd0a66de9d5669763495f0b81166645853e11e
This should help with the namespace of the Authenticate DTO’s. This change is now on v4.0.37+ that’s now on MyGet:
