HMAC-SHA1 key

#1 Post by bobvolz »

I have a need to send a soap request to a server that requires an HMAC-SHA1 signature. This is something I tried to understand a few years back but had no success. Has anyone had any experience with this?. It's a little above my pay grade so any input would be appreciated.

Bob -

You may recall that I worked hours on this project for you a few years ago and wrote a DC_HmacSha1() function.
I tested it using a test utility on some web page.

For whatever reason, Microsoft rejected the result at the web service you were using.
I could never figure out why because, as far as I was concerned, the algorithm certified just fine.

Because it didn't work for you, I never charged you for my time.

The function is still in DCLIPX.DLL.

Hi Roger;

Yes I remember it too well. I felt bad about that. I think we had some arrogant asshole you were trying to get support from.

Perhaps the new support team is easier to deal with.

I will look at the function in Dclip. I asked Bobby to look at it as well. Perhaps we can put our heads together.
