Alfresco wsdl contains incorrect endpoints

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Hi there,

Here is our wsdl location..
   https://alfresco.company.com/alfresco/wsdl/authentication-service.wsdl

Can someone please tell me how to make sure the location in the Alfresco WSDL points to our external address rather than localhost???

Thanks!

 <wsdl:service name="AuthenticationService"> 
   <wsdl:documentation>Provides simple authentication capability.
 </wsdl:documentation> 
   <wsdl:port binding="auth:AuthenticationServiceSoapBinding" 
 name="AuthenticationService"> 
     <wsdlsoap:address location="http://localhost:
 8080/alfresco/api/AuthenticationService"/> 
   </wsdl:port> 
 </wsdl:service>

I'm working on a Drupal module that interfaces with Alfresco.  Damon had posted this question to the forum on my behalf, but now that I have forum access, I'll pick up the thread.  This is a long post, so to summarize, I have two problems:

1.  server not found because endpoint is changed to a local ip address.
2.  Failed to parse query

The source of the localhost reference in the original posting of this question came from the fact that I manually downloaded the wsdl from our alfresco server, and it had this snipet:

   <wsdl:service name="AuthenticationService">
      <wsdl:documentation>Provides simple authentication capability.</wsdl:documentation>
      <wsdl:port binding="auth:AuthenticationServiceSoapBinding" name="AuthenticationService">
         <wsdlsoap:address location="http://localhost:8080/alfresco/api/AuthenticationService'/>
      </wsdl:port>
   </wsdl:service>

However, I've gotten a little further along.  I upgraded the php libraries from 1.2 to 1.4.  I looked at Examples/QueryExecuter/queryExecuter.php and created the following function.

function alfresco_test_api_page() {
  // … Drupal specific code to setup $server, $user, $pass
  // $server points to the alfresco server

  try {
    // Login
    $session = Session::create($user, $pass, $server .'/api');

    // Get the children of the company home
    if ($currentStore = new SpacesStore($session)) {
      $nodes = $session->query($currentStore, null);
    }

    $session->close();
  }
  catch (Exception $e) {
    // … Drupal specific code to handle the error
  }

  return print_r($nodes, TRUE);
}

1.  I get an error that it can't find the server which it's looking for at http://128.1.32.82:8080.  I don't know where it's getting this address from.

So as a temporary hack, just to see if I could get more, I added a line to AlfrescoWebService.php to replace the bad ip address with a good one.

2.  Now the server doesn't like my query:
