I am trying to hit a remote web service and check if the service is working. To hit the service I am using SOAPUI client. The first time I tried, I got a 403/Forbidden response. The team developing the remote service provided me with a digital certificate to use to making the request. How should I use this certificate for making the request. I am a fairly new to the concept of using digital certificates in web service authentication as well as to soap ui.

You need to configure soapui for client certificate authentication.
There are a number of ways to do this.
- You can add an authentication option under the connection details for the project.
- You can configure the certificates for the request under the ws-auth tab
Have a look at the link below. It gives some basic setup steps to assist with soapui

13In newer versions of SoapUI (i.e. 5.4) you can import your client certificate in a local keystore then > Preferences > SSL Settings > Keystore - Keystore Password – Ben Feb 01 '18 at 09:31

I needed to run SoapUI as administrator to get access to the certificate. After doing this once this was not required any more. – Bart VdA Oct 29 '21 at 14:41

Good link. I missed choosing the local keystore in the request, the first time. – Bob Lokerse Jan 10 '22 at 16:49
