Making a web request to a web page which requires

问题:

I am trying to make a request to a web page using WebRequest class in .net. The url that I am trying to read requires Windows Authentication due to which I get an unauthorised exception. How can I pass a windows credentials to this request so that it can authenticate.

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create( "http://myapp/home.aspx" );

request.Method = "GET";
request.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
request.PreAuthenticate = true;
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential( "username", "password", "domain" );

HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse(); // Raises Unauthorized Exception

this.Response.Write( response.StatusCode );

The above code returns the following error.

System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.

I noticed one thing while checking the exception details is that the url that I am trying to access is redirecting to a different url which is prompting me to provide the NT login details. I believe that the credentials should get forwarded to this url as well. But apparently it is not happening.

You should use Credentials property to pass the windows credentials to the web service.

If you wish to pass current windows user's credentials to the service then

request.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

should do the trick. Otherwise use NetworkCredential as follows:

request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(user, pwd, domain);

I am trying to access a link A passing the windows credentials. Link A then redirects me to link B automatically but does not pass the windows credentials which I had supplied. Hence the error. I did request.AutoRedirect = false, and looped through every time I get location in the header i.e. I do my redirects manually each time passing the windows credentials.

This worked for me :)

For authenticating to WebService, use DefaultNetworkCredentials instead of DefaultCredentials:

request.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;

Using VS2015, request.UseDefaultCredentials = true; works for me!
