  </soap:Body>

SOAP Security Header

The Security Header structure conveys authentication information. It is mandatory and both the /wsse:UsernameToken/wsse:Username and /wsse:UsernameToken/wsse:Password elements are mandatory.
Each connecting HotelRunner partner will be allocated a USERNAME* and PASSWORD* per property for use with this header.

*USERNAME: HR_ID
*PASSWORD: TOKEN

SOAP Faults

Generally OTA messages transmit "business logic" failures in the element structure. However a soap fault can be returned in case of an unexpected error caused by for example a soap message where the xml cannot be parsed. The SOAP Fault will identify the party at fault (CLIENT/SERVER).

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <SOAP-ENV:Header/>
  <SOAP-ENV:Body>
    <SOAP-ENV:Fault>
      <faultcode>
        SOAP-ENV:Client
      </faultcode>
      <faultstring xml:lang="en" xmlns:xml="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace">
        Authentication failed - invalid username
      </faultstring>
    </SOAP-ENV:Fault>
  </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
