Testing web service with SoapUI and Windows authentication

SoapUI doesn’t seem to work directly with NTLM authentication, but you can use a proxy such as Burp Suite to do the auth for you.

1. Download Burp Suite from http://portswigger.net/burp/ and crank it up.
2. On Burp’s “Proxy : Intercept” tab, click the button to turn intercept off.
3. On Burp’s “Proxy : Options” tab, make sure it’s set to an unused port, the default is 8081
4. On Burp’s “Options” tab, tick “do www authentication” and add a setting for the server you wish to hit. Also tick “prompt for credentials on authentication failure”
5. Switch to Burp’s “Proxy : History” tab so you can see requests going through.
6. In SoapUI, choose File > Preferences, then select “Proxy Settings”. Enter Host “localhost” and port “8081”.
7. Use SoapUI as normal. It will send requests through Burp Proxy, which will do the NTLM authentication for you.
