I need to do a SOAP request but server requires a X.509 certificate with a password (pfx file).

I've done it using Soap UI by pointing the certificate file and password in SSL settings.

I also know that to define simple certificate without a password when creating a SQL Anywhere SOAP client procedure I need to use parameter certificate, however I can't find any information regarding certificates that require a password.

Sample code taken from SA 12 documentation:

create or replace function httpAddItemFunction("soapPayload" xml )
returns XML
url 'http://localhost/store'
    type 'HTTP:POST:text/xml'
    header 'SOAPAction: "http://localhost/addItems"'
    certificate 'cert=...';

Any suggestions?

Are you attempting to use Mutual authentication or two-way authentication here?

If so that is not supported in versions 12 and 16 (nor even 17 currently). Even if all you are doing is client identification here, we only support server identification; only having support for identiy_password on the server side (as a https protocol option) and only expecting that model for external content servers.

If you absolutely require Mutual/two-way/client authentication you may have to move this into an external CLR environment implementation.

Note, v17.0.4 has introduced support for client certificate supports, cf. the docs.

However, in my humble understanding, this does apply to SQL Anywhere web servers and regular database clients, not to web-client functions/procedures...

Not supported in SQL Anywhere, created a custom C# library instead.
