I’ve developed Flex Air application that consumes Web services on telephony server. I’ve added Authorization header to enable Basic http authentication; the problem I have is that “someone” (Flex Air engine?) asks for security certificate every time the Web service is invoked. I can’t force the application to import the certificate (in “Security Alert” window it says “The import was successful”, but next time when the service is invoked, it is the same story). The service returns valid result.

Application written in C#, which consumes same Web service with same credentials and on same client workstation works fine.

Any idea how to proceed?

>>2)What kind of data does AMFPHP pass back to Actionscript?
Here is a resource to see the mapping between the ActionScript types and PHP: http://amfphp.org/docs/datatypes.html

Take a look at my article on Flex and PHP with AMFPHP http://corlan.org/2008/10/10/flex-and-php-remoting-with-amfphp/

Been trying to create a user authentication using Flex 3 and AMFPHP. What happens in my case is that the PHP function works in the service browser, but when i try to pass variables into the PHP function (using remote object), either the variables are not being passed in or the PHP function is not returning the variable i need for other checking purposes.

Just a few questions after reading the tutorial:
1) Is it necessary to use the AsyncToken for user authentication?
2) What kind of data does AMFPHP pass back to Actionscript?

Thanks in advance for the help.

2. Usually a token is a string of 32 chars or more. Each user must have an unique token, and many people are generating using a hash function such as MD5.

I am trying to understand how to save tokens with AIR. Are they simply string variables ? In the server-side code,, does each user have a different token? What’s the best approach for generating tokens ?

Another way is to use mx:states to define one state for each rol.

Thanks,
Dan
