i am trying to Authenticate using HttpClient to my Azure Dev organization. but its always failed.
the only way to achieve success with authentication was using Client Library like this:
VssConnection connection = new VssConnection(new Uri(azureDevOpsOrganizationUrl), new VssClientCredentials());
hope someone can tell me what is it the proper way to auth using username and password only.
UPDATE: i also tried like this:
string SecurelyStoredUserName = "EmailAddressAsUserName";
SecureString SecurelyStoredPassword = new SecureString();
string PWD = "MyVerySecuredPassword";
PWD.ToList().ForEach(SecurelyStoredPassword.AppendChar);
NetworkCredential myCred = new NetworkCredential(
SecurelyStoredUserName, SecurelyStoredPassword, azureDevOpsOrganizationUrl);
string svcCredentials = Convert.ToBase64String(ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(SecurelyStoredUserName + ":" + SecurelyStoredPassword));
HttpClientHandler handler;
handler = new HttpClientHandler() { Credentials = myCred };
HttpClient client;
client = new HttpClient(handler);
client.BaseAddress = new Uri(azureDevOpsOrganizationUrl);
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Accept", "application/json");
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Authorization", "Basic " + svcCredentials);
that what i did, but when i tried to do a get/post , i get Error 401 Unauthorized
