Workday Studio Web Service Tester Authentication Config

Posted 4 months, 4 weeks ago

Workday Studio Web Service Tester used to "just work" for me without messing with it. I don't know if it's some setting I messed with or an update to Studio, but every time I want to test a web service, I have to re-configure the config and everything from scratch.

So instead of re-inventing the wheel once every month or two when I need to test a web service, I'm taking some notes.

Step 1: Get the WSDL URL

Using the Public Web Services task, look up the WSDL for the web service, copy+paste that into the "Location:" box. It's Related Actions > Web Service > View WSDL and then the URL is very close to the bottom of the file.

The ?wsdl suffix is optional in WS Tester

Step 2: Configure the security "stuff"

Click on the globe icon with a lock.

  • Check the box for Authentication
  • Fill in the username. The @tenant-name suffix is a required gotcha
  • Fill in the password
