(using C#) I'm trying to authenticate but it always comes back failed. I know my username and password are correct. We may be using OSLC 1.0 if that matters. I'm not sure but I see it a couple times in the services.xml file. The website I'm getting my insight from was using 3.0. Maybe there's a difference? Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Debug.Log("Authentication Required");
// tried with just j_security_check as well (without "authenticated") as he seems to do both on the site
HttpWebRequest _formPost = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(localhost + "authenticated/j_security_check");
_formPost.Method = "POST";
_formPost.Timeout = 30000;
_formPost.CookieContainer = request.CookieContainer;
_formPost.Accept = "text/xml";
_formPost.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
Byte[] _outBuffer = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("j_username=coolcat&j_password=bestPassEvar"); //store in byte buffer
_formPost.ContentLength = _outBuffer.Length;
Stream _str = _formPost.GetRequestStream();
_str.Write(_outBuffer, 0, _outBuffer.Length); //update form
_str.Close();
//FormBasedAuth Step2:submit the login form and get the response from the server
HttpWebResponse _formResponse = (HttpWebResponse)_formPost.GetResponse();
string _rtcAuthHeader = _formResponse.Headers["X-com-ibm-team-repository-web-auth-msg"];
//check if authentication has failed
if ((_rtcAuthHeader != null) && _rtcAuthHeader.Equals("authfailed"))
{
Debug.Log("Authentication Failed");
return;
}
Ugh. I'm such a dummy. Username/Password were correct, but I was encoding it twice before using it! (not seen in code above as I hard-coded it for obvious security reasons).
