[Jzjkit-user] Connecting to Z3950 with password authentication via JZKit

[Stracchino, P. <Per...@bl...>]

Hi=20

Has anyone had any success using JZKit to connect to a Z3950 server
requiring user/password authentication?  Setting  the userId and
credentials and ZAuthenticationMethod as the authentication method in
Z3950ServiceFactory seemed the obvious technique....
=20
ZAuthenticationMethod auth =3D new ZAuthenticationMethod();
            auth.setAuthType(3); //ie as idpass type
            auth.setUserId("username");
            auth.setGroupId("");     //since  idpass authetication type
appears to expect this as an empty String if no actual group exists
            auth.setCredentials("password");
            factory =3D new Z3950ServiceFactory("host",port); =20
            factory.setApplicationContext(app_context);=20
            factory.setAuthMethod(auth);
=20
However this doesnt seem to do the trick, although apart from  use of
the authentication method we are using the same code to successfully
connect to and search a similar Z3950 database which does not require
authentication, so the rest of our code appears ok.

Any advice/experiences would be much appreciated!
