I have a .NET ASMX web service in a different server and I have installed the mule standalone CE 3.4 in another server. I have a very simple flow which needs to call this .NET web service and pass two string parameters.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<outbound-endpoint address="http://myserver/sm/webservicelistener.asmx?wsdl" doc:name="Generic" exchange-pattern="request-response" connector-ref="httpConnector"/>
</flow>
Basically, I'm exposing an http inbound endpoint (for testing purposes) to invoke the flow and using a java transformer class which returns the strings that needs to be passed to the web service. Here is the code for the WebServiceParamsTransformer class.
public class WebServiceParamsTransformer extends AbstractTransformer {
@Override
public Object doTransform(Object src, String encoding) throws TransformerException {
Object[] out = new Object[2];
out[0] = "Update Ticket Service";
out[1] = Base64.encode("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" standalone=\"yes\"?><event source=\"SHUB\" target=\"TP\" type=\"SUB8\" version=\"1.0\" timestamp=\"2013-09-16T15:52:14.0000+00.00\"><new-eta-event><incident-number>123456</incident-number><user-name>hari</user-name><eta-timestamp>2013-09-16T15:52:14.0000+00.00</eta-timestamp></new-eta-event></event>");
return out;
}
}
Unfortunately this is not working - I'm receiving the following error 'Response code: 401. Unauthorized'. Here is the excerpt from the error log:

The .NET web service is secured by Windows Integrated Authentication and runs in IIS 7 under Windows Server 2008 in .NET Framework 2.0. Here is the screenshot that shows the authentication setting.
Where am I doing wrong? My requirement is to simply call a web service that is secured by integrated authentication from mule esb. Any help is much appreciated.
