Exchange Web Service API and 401 unauthorized exce

问题:

When I try sending email using the EWS API, I get the following error: (in message.Send();)

The request failed. The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.

My code is the following:

ExchangeService exchangeService = new ExchangeService(ExchangeVersion.Exchange2007_SP1);

//WebService Uri
try
{
    exchangeService.Url = new Uri("https://exchangeserver/ews/exchange.asmx");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    throw new Exception(string.Format("WebService Uri:" + ex));
}

//Credentials
try
{
    exchangeService.Credentials = new WebCredentials("user@domain", "pwd", "domain");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    throw new Exception(string.Format("Credentials:" +  ex));
}

//Send a mail
try
{
    EmailMessage message = new EmailMessage(exchangeService);
    message.Subject = "Test";
    message.Body = "Test";
    message.ToRecipients.Add("destination@domain");
    message.Save();
    message.Send();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    throw ex;
}

I read other posts on this site concerning this issue but they couldn't resolve my issue.

Try changing this:

 exchangeService.Credentials = new WebCredentials("user@domain", "pwd", "domain");

into this:

 exchangeService.Credentials = new WebCredentials("user", "pwd", "domain");

Sometime the Login credentials depends on how Exchange/Active Directory it's configured. It could be user@domain or domain\user

It took me a lot of time to find a solution for the same issue. In my case, I needed to add to the EWS Virtual Directory under the IIS site the list of allowed URL's. Go to the IIS management, click the EWS node, under the Default Web Site, then double-click the Request Filtering. Go to the URL tab, and on the right, click Allow URL. Enter the url's by which you will invoke the service, e.g. example.com/ews/ or server.example.com/ews/

In addition, related to similar issues, I needed to add all hosts (*) to the winrm trusted host (by default it had only the local IP listed).

HTH.

This issue can cause the two way authentication provide by Microsoft office 365. Better create a app password and pass that instead of outlook password.

exchangeService.Credentials = new WebCredentials("email", "app-pwd");
