Trouble Polling External Website for XML in GeoEvent with credentials

Hello,

I'm trying to bring an XML wfs into geoevent server using "poll external website for xml", I'm generally following the steps of this blog, but I think I'm hung up on adding credentials into the URL.

I've created an input with the URL: http://geo.daveyresourcekeeper.com:8080/geoserver/wfs_redwoodcity/wfs?service=wfs&version=1.1.1&request=getFeature&typename=wfs_redwoodcity

which works when accessed in a browser and the username/pw are entered. And according to this blog I've tried to add the username/pw to the url as well as to the parameters space, but in all instances I'm getting "Request failed (HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized)." Along with 'Unable to parse input '' into spatial reference." Which I assume is because the data is inaccessible without credentials.

I'm wondering if you could advise on how to add the credentials to this URL or the parameters. I've tried
http://geo.daveyresourcekeeper.com:8080/geoserver/wfs_redwoodcity/wfs?service=wfs&version=1.1.1&username=abc&password=123&request=getFeature&typename=wfs_redwoodcity

And I've tried adding to the parameters "username=abc&password=123" but neither seemed to work.

Thank you,

Victoria

Hi Victoria Beckley‌,

i also had a look at the Post you mentioned:https://community.esri.com/thread/139667

Did you try to create a new Connector with Adapter: Xml and the Transport: HTTP-BasicAuthentication?

In my opinion this should be the best way to go. The HTTP-BasicAuthentication (Transport) provides the 2 properties Username and Password.

Best,

Stefan
