Getting token for Active Directory authenticated users

Alex_Lapushinski

Hi Everyone,

The usual way to get token is sending username and password as parameters:

authToken = authClient.AuthenticateUser(UserName, UserPassword);

Is there any way to get a token without sending password for users already authenticated in AD?

Thanks,

Alex

Do you haveOTDS authentication doing gatekeeper authentication?Or DirSvcs authentication using CSDS

How does yourcurrent webgui login work?

What COPdepartment do you work for?

The way itworks if OTDS is employed is your auth service code will point to its serviceand use that token usually it is a Tomcat hosted service.

If CSDS is usedthen your wsapi Web.Config will change.You should find my experiments and manyother’s in this forum.

Good luck...

Hi Appu,

Our companyhas a contract with COP for adapting our .NET Windows application for COP environment and LiveLink server.

Application needs just basic LL functionality: user should be able to create folders and upload/download files on LL server from GUI.

I'll send my info to you in LinkedIn.

Oops, I've missed your question

How does your current webgui login work?

Currently before upload/download files I'm getting token like it's done in OT code samples:

authToken = authClient.AuthenticateUser(UserName, UserPassword);

But it would be nice to get it without password for AD authorized users.

Here is the current code with using password:

// Create the Authentication service client
AuthenticationClient authClient = new AuthenticationClient();

// Call the AuthenticateUser() method to get an authentication token
try
{
authToken = authClient.AuthenticateUser(UserName, UserPassword);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
clMessages.InsertLog(e.Message, e.StackTrace, "Get LL Auth Token", UserId, "DBFunctions", "", "", "Get LL Auth Token");
}
finally
{
// Always close the client
authClient.Close();
}
