I'm trying to retrieve data from remote WFS server which requires basic https authentication using GeoTools. I defined connection parameters for username and password like 

connectionParameters.put("WFSDataStoreFactory:USERNAME", "username" );
connectionParameters.put("WFSDataStoreFactory:PASSWORD", "pass" );

However I get 

"Server returned HTTP response code: 401 for URL: http://...".

What is the solution for basic https authentication in GeoTools WFS support.

    try turning logging up and see if that shows you what is sent

  • Can you show how you're applying the connectionParameters?

  • For connectionParameters: Map connectionParameters = new HashMap();

  • I get: IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 500 for URL: wfsserver/wfs (unfortunately I had to change wfs server name) and IOException: org.xml.sax.SAXException: Server returned HTTP response code: 401 for URL: wfsserver/… (unfortunately I had to change wfs server name)

  • I have the same case that you report. I have a connection with basicAuthentication, the getCapabilities and getFeatureStore return me correct data but when i try to commit a transaction I get the next exception: "HTTP response code:401 for url ...." Here's my code: public boolean anadirIncidencia(String getCapabilities, String capa, SimpleFeature incidencia, String username, String password) throws Exception { boolean b = false; Map connectionParameters = new HashMap(); connectionParameters.put("WFSDataStoreFactory:GET_CAPABILITIES_URL", getCapabilities); connectionParameters.put("WFSDataStore

I can recreate this response from a local GeoServer but only when I send a connection request to a GeoServer that doesn't have a user of the name requested. When I have set up a user then it works exactly as I expect.

With regards to @Dani's comment I don't get a FeatureStore which is expected as the WFSStore doesn't support writes when you use version 1.1.0. For version 1.0 it works as expected when the user exists on the server.
