I am refactoring a working ASP.NET Web Application to expose Web Services interface using ASP.NET Web Service. According to Web Services authentication – best practices, Basic Auth over https is the way to go. Let’s assume it is, as opposed to doing WS-Security, X509, etc..
I have a working WEB API that I wrote, and I added basic authentication to the API (username is “testing”, password is “123456”). However, when trying to call that API from my web form, I keep getting the “(401) Unauthorized” message. What should I change in the web code to call the API successfully?
I am using the ASP.NET Web API to build a prototype of a web service (and site) which has a method to download a file. When the user on the front-end presses the export button a jQuery ajax GET request is made and received by the controller which on it’s turn calls the method named Excel (shown below). The method runs without any problem and finishes. When I look in Chrome at the header (see https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=2D85E5C937AC2BF9!77093) it receives the response with (as far as I am concerned) all the right headers.
I want to create ASP.NET web page which will prompt me basic authentication popup where in I will enter credentials.
I tried adding below lines of code in PreInit and PreLoad event handlers but still it is not showing me basic authentication popup.
I am trying to enter data in prompt (URL Given), below codes is giving me an error. Please help me out with these?
