AuthenticateUser and AuthenticateUserAsync

Shemin_Ang

Hi,

From the CWS sample code, the below snippet was used:

Console.Write("Authenticating User...");
authToken = authClient.AuthenticateUser(username, password);
Console.WriteLine("Success!\n");

However, we could only find AuthenticateUserAsync() method and not AuthenticateUser() method.
Is there a difference?

Any configurations from content server side we can do to enable the use of AuthenticateUser() method instead?

is your endpoint to something ending in Authentication.svc if in IIS or Authentication Tomcat  ? because new CS can understand it from OTDS as well? could we see your WSDL? and what the version of CS is

I have the same issue. The wsdl shows AuthenticateUser but it disappears when developing WEB API on .NET CORE. I only left with AuthenticateUserAsync

When you are adding your reference to the WCF Web Service as a Connected Service are you selecting the option to Generate Synchronous Operations?

Enabling this will provide that method for you.
