Here is the sample code for PHP Webservice client that works:
$options = array();
$options['trace'] = 1;
$options['login'] = 'username';
$options['password'] = 'password';
$client = new SoapClient("http://wsurl.com/pt/wsdl", $options);
I would like to access this webservice using c# but having a hard time doing the authentication. Do I need to explicitly set the soap headers or there is a built in way to send credentials in .NET
There are two ways to do this because servers handle authentication differently. First you could use something like this:
var req = WebRequest.Create(<your url>);
NetworkCredential creds = new NetworkCredential(<username>, <password>);
req.Credentials = creds;
var rep = req.GetResponse();
However if you need an actual Authroization header you will want to use this code
public void SetBasicAuthHeader(WebRequest req, String userName, String userPassword)
{
string authInfo = userName + ":" + userPassword;
authInfo = Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.Default.GetBytes(authInfo));
req.Headers["Authorization"] = "Basic " + authInfo;
}
And then your request code becomes
var req = WebRequest.Create(<your url>);
SetBasicAuthHeader(req, username, password);
rep = req.GetResponse();
Let me know if you have any questions.
If you add a service reference in your C# project, you can just call your service like this:
var proxy = new YourServiceClient();
proxy.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = "username";
proxy.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = "password";

I have to make a SOAP POST request to create an event in a C# application.
The events manager service is available at this endpoint:
https://eu3.provider.com/eTech/services/cxf/v6/BusinessEventManager
This endpoint uses a SOAP 1.2 binding (Document/literal) with MTOM, and offers the following security policies:
•HTTP Basic Auth through a secured channel (https) in Base64.
The method which creates the event is createEvents(BusinessEvent[], WSEntry[]), and it hasn't username and password attributes.
And now, this is my code:
// Creating the BusinessEvent[] object:
BusinessEventManagerWebReference.businessEvent[] myBusinessEvent = new BusinessEventManagerWebReference.businessEvent[1];
myBusinessEvent[0] = new BusinessEventManagerWebReference.businessEvent();
myBusinessEvent[0].id = "myBusinessEvent";
BusinessEventManagerWebReference.coreData cd = new BusinessEventManagerWebReference.coreData();
cd.creationDate = DateTime.Now;
cd.orderingCustomer = "Cliente";
cd.description = "Descripcion";
BusinessEventManagerWebReference.externalReferentialData externalRFD = new BusinessEventManagerWebReference.externalReferentialData();
externalRFD.customerName = "Nombre Cliente";
externalRFD.equipmentName = "Equipo";
cd.referentialData = externalRFD;
myBusinessEvent[0].coreData = cd;
BusinessEventManagerWebReference.location myLocation = new BusinessEventManagerWebReference.location();
myLocation.address = "Direccion";
myLocation.city = "Ciudad";
myLocation.description = "Direccion";
externalRFD.location = myLocation;
// Creating the WebRequest
WebRequest myRequest = WebRequest.Create("https://eu3.provider.com/eTech/services/cxf/v6/BusinessEventManager");
myRequest.Method = "POST";
string usernamePassword = "myuser" + ":" + "mypassword";
usernamePassword = Convert.ToBase64String(new ASCIIEncoding().GetBytes(usernamePassword));
CredentialCache mycache = new CredentialCache();
myRequest.Credentials = mycache;
myRequest.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic " + usernamePassword);
However, at this point I don't know how to combine my WebRequest, my BusinessEvent object and the createEvents method for creating the event... Should I pass the BusinessEvent object as a parameter? Should I convert it to XML format before calling WebRespose()??
Any help please??
Thanks a lot!!
I'm triggering an external web page outside of sharepoint which needs to read lists using the sharepoint web api.
HttpWebRequest endpointRequest = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(sharepointUrl.ToString() + "/_api/web/lists");
endpointRequest.Method = "GET";
endpointRequest.Accept = "application/json;odata=verbose";
//endpointRequest.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Bearer " + accessToken);
HttpWebResponse endpointResponse = (HttpWebResponse)endpointRequest.GetResponse();
I can access the API using chrome if I'm logged in but I suspect I need the access token line.. but can't seem to find a way to populate it.
Currently it returns:
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it...
You need to set credential of HttpWebRequest.
Here you go:
HttpWebRequest endpointRequest = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(sharepointUrl.ToString() + "/_api/web/lists");
string password = "XXXXX";
string userName = "XXXX";
SecureString secureString = new SecureString();
foreach (char c in password.ToCharArray())
{
secureString.AppendChar(c);
}
endpointRequest.Credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials(userName, secureString);
//.........
If you are using SharePoint online, it can work with my answer above because i have tested.
If you are using SharePoint 2013/2010/2016, the code will be as below.
HttpWebRequest endpointRequest = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(sharepointUrl.ToString() + "/_api/web/lists");
string password = "XXXXX";
string userName = "XXXX";
string domain = "XXX"
endpointRequest.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(userName, password, domain);
//.........
I am trying to use the API against our ALM 12.21 server, but always ends up with "401 Unauthorized". It seems that I get the auth cookie back correctly, but when I try to do something after that I am unauthorized.
I use this the get this to get auth cookie (seems to work):
HttpWebRequest myauthrequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://server/qcbin/authentication-point/alm-authenticate");
string AuthenticationXML = #"<alm-authentication>
<user>username</user>
<password>password</password>
</alm-authentication>";
byte[] Requestbytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(AuthenticationXML);
myauthrequest.Method = "POST";
myauthrequest.ContentType = "application/xml";
myauthrequest.ContentLength = Requestbytes.Length;
myauthrequest.Accept = "application/xml";
Stream RequestStr = myauthrequest.GetRequestStream();
RequestStr.Write(Requestbytes, 0, Requestbytes.Length);
RequestStr.Close();
HttpWebResponse myauthres = (HttpWebResponse)myauthrequest.GetResponse();
var AuthenticationCookie = myauthres.Headers.Get("Set-Cookie");
AuthenticationCookie = AuthenticationCookie.Replace(";Path=/;HTTPOnly", "");
I am not sure if the .Replace is needed. Just read it somewhere. I get 401 both with or without it though, when trying to do subsequent requests.
Trying e.g. this after getting auth cookie:
HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://server/qcbin/rest/domains/FS/projects/P3602_SLS_Project/defects/1");
req.Method = "GET";
req.ContentType = "application/xml";
req.Accept = "application/octet-stream";
req.Headers.Set(HttpRequestHeader.Cookie, AuthenticationCookie);
HttpWebResponse res = (HttpWebResponse)req.GetResponse();
Stream RStream2 = res.GetResponseStream();
XDocument doc = XDocument.Load(RStream2);
Which fails with 401.
Anyone have complete working code for the ALM 12.21 REST API?
You need two main cookies to get the ALM REST API works perfectly.
LWSSO_COOKIE_KEY
QCSession
almURL = "https://..com/qcbin/"
authEndPoint = almURL + "authentication-point/authenticate"
qcSessionEndPoint = almURL + "rest/site-session"
After you get successful response for authEndPoint you will get the LWSSO_COOKIE_KEY
Use that cookie in your next request to qcSessionEndPoint, it should give you QCSession cookie.
Use both LWSSO_COOKIE_KEY and QCSession cookies in your subsequent requests to get data from ALM.
I see that you are using octet-stream to get the defect response. When I checked the documentation, it can return one of the following types.
"application/xml"
"application/atom+xml"
"application/json"
Just in case, if you need to see some working implementation in python, here it is https://github.com/macroking/ALM-Integration/blob/master/ALM_Integration_Util.py
It may give you some idea.
Thank you #Barney. You sent me in the correct direction :-) For anyone interested, I managed it like this, e.g. for getting defect ID 473:
Logging on to create a CookieContainer and then use that to do the actual ALM data fetch:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string almURL = #"https://url/qcbin/";
string domain = "domain";
string project = "project";
CookieContainer cookieContainer = LoginAlm2(almURL, "username", "password", domain, project);
HttpWebRequest myWebRequest1 = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(almURL + "/rest/domains/" + domain + "/projects/" + project + "/defects/473");
myWebRequest1.CookieContainer = cookieContainer;
myWebRequest1.Accept = "application/json";
WebResponse webResponse1 = myWebRequest1.GetResponse();
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(webResponse1.GetResponseStream());
string res = reader.ReadToEnd();
}
public CookieContainer LoginAlm2(string server, string user, string password, string domain, string project)
{
//Creating the WebRequest with the URL and encoded authentication
string StrServerLogin = server + "/api/authentication/sign-in";
HttpWebRequest myWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(StrServerLogin);
myWebRequest.Headers[HttpRequestHeader.Authorization] = "Basic " + Base64Encode(user + ":" + password);
WebResponse webResponse = myWebRequest.GetResponse();
CookieContainer c = new CookieContainer();
Uri uri = new Uri(server);
string StrCookie = webResponse.Headers.ToString();
string StrCookie1 = StrCookie.Substring(StrCookie.IndexOf("LWSSO_COOKIE_KEY=") + 17);
StrCookie1 = StrCookie1.Substring(0, StrCookie1.IndexOf(";"));
c.Add(new Cookie("LWSSO_COOKIE_KEY", StrCookie1) { Domain = uri.Host });
//Then the QCSession cookie
string StrCookie2 = StrCookie.Substring(StrCookie.IndexOf("QCSession=") + 10);
StrCookie2 = StrCookie2.Substring(0, StrCookie2.IndexOf(";"));
c.Add(new Cookie("QCSession", StrCookie2) { Domain = uri.Host });
//Then the ALM_USER cookie
string StrCookie3 = StrCookie.Substring(StrCookie.IndexOf("ALM_USER=") + 9);
StrCookie3 = StrCookie3.Substring(0, StrCookie3.IndexOf(";"));
c.Add(new Cookie("ALM_USER", StrCookie3) { Domain = uri.Host });
//And finally the XSRF-TOKEN cookie
string StrCookie4 = StrCookie.Substring(StrCookie.IndexOf("XSRF-TOKEN=") + 12);
StrCookie4 = StrCookie4.Substring(0, StrCookie4.IndexOf(";"));
c.Add(new Cookie("XSRF-TOKEN", StrCookie4) { Domain = uri.Host });
return c;
}
Works like a charm :-)
I'm trying to use an outside REST api that was recently developed by an outside company. They provided me with some Java code to show how to connect to it and retrieve data, but so far I'm having no luck getting any results with C# MVC 4. Currently I cannot even login to the system. The credentials are correct, and using examples that I've found elsewhere don't seem to help.
The Java code that works:
try{
ClientConfig client_config = new ClientConfig();
client_config.register(new HttpBasicAuthFilter(username,password));
Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient(client_config);
WebTarget web_target = client.target(url);
Invocation.Builder invocation_builder = web_target.request();
//This GET does the login with basic auth
this.populateFromResponse(invocation_builder.get());
}
catch(final Exception e){
System.out.println(e.toString());
}
Ok, there are objects here that I don't have in C#, clearly, but everything I've tried has yet to work.
I have tried placing info in the header of the request:
request.Headers["Authorization"] = "Basic " + Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.Default.GetBytes(username + ":" + password));
No cookies, also tried:
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(username, password);
Nothing. If I try this, receive no cookies, and still attempt to access any other part of the api, then I get a 401(Not Authorized) error. The request.GetResponse(); doesn't throw an error if I'm simply trying to access the login section of the api.
I'm new to REST services, so any help/direction is appreciated. I'm only asking because everything else that I've looked up doesn't seem to work.
Edit
Here's how I'm building the request:
var request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(HostUrl + path);
request.Method = "GET";
request.Headers["Authorization"] = "Basic " + Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(username + ":" + password));
var response = request.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse;
Edit #2
Thanks to #BrianP for his answer, which led me to solving this issue a little better. Below is my current code (along with additions to collect cookies from the response taken from this question) that finally returned a success code:
var cookies = new CookieContainer();
var handler = new HttpClientHandler();
handler.CookieContainer = cookies;
var client = new HttpClient(handler);
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Basic", Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(username + ":" + password)));
client.BaseAddress = new Uri(HostUrl);
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
var response = client.GetAsync(HostUrl + "/api/login/").Result;
var responseCookies = cookies.GetCookies(new Uri(HostUrl)).Cast<Cookie>()
Please let me know if there are improvements for this code. Thanks again!
public void SetBasicAuthHeader(WebRequest req, String userName, String userPassword)
{
string authInfo = userName + ":" + userPassword;
authInfo = Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.Default.GetBytes(authInfo));
req.Headers["Authorization"] = "Basic " + authInfo;
}

EDIT: Based on Comments.
HttpRequestMessage requestMsg = new HttpRequestMessage();
string data = username + ":" + password;
requestMsg.Headers.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Basic", data);
I'm trying to read files from a SharePoint document library using HttpWebRequest. In order to do that I have to pass some credentials. I'm using the below request:
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
request.Method = "GET";
request.ContentType = "application/msexcel";
request.UserAgent = "Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+5.01;+Windows+NT+5.0";
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(UserName, PassWord);
Is this the correct way to pass credentials?
You could also use:
request.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;
If you need to run request as the current user from desktop application use CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials (see on MSDN).
Your code looks fine if you need to run a request from server side code or under a different user.
Please note that you should be careful when storing passwords - consider using the SecureString version of the constructor.
If you need to set the credentials on the fly, have a look at this source:
http://spc3.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/57957#1015709
private ICredentials BuildCredentials(string siteurl, string username, string password, string authtype) {
NetworkCredential cred;
if (username.Contains(#"\")) {
string domain = username.Substring(0, username.IndexOf(#"\"));
username = username.Substring(username.IndexOf(#"\") + 1);
cred = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(username, password, domain);
} else {
cred = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(username, password);
}
CredentialCache cache = new CredentialCache();
if (authtype.Contains(":")) {
authtype = authtype.Substring(authtype.IndexOf(":") + 1); //remove the TMG: prefix
}
cache.Add(new Uri(siteurl), authtype, cred);
return cache;
}
