Content Server 10.5 Rest API Auth Permissions

jwill

I'm working with a Content Server 10.5 environment. We have two virtual folders setup for cgi in IIS, One virtual folder is the standard otcs instance which users access through the web browser and use windows credentials to login and browse Content Server. It has windows authentication enabled in IIS The other virtual folder is an otcsadmin instance which can only be accessed by built in content server admins. The otcsadmin instance has anonymous authentication enabled in IIS.

We created a script in another stand alone windows application which makes calls to Content Server using the REST API. When running the script using the otcsadmin url and a Content Server admin account, we are able to authenticate and make our REST calls with no issues. When running the script using windows credentials, we always get 401 or 403 errors using either the standard otcs url or the otcsadmin url

My question is: Is it possible to authenticate with the REST API and return an OTCSTICKET using windows credentials? or can you only use a Content Server admin account to make the auth call?
