Using CWS from .NET CORE WEB API

Shai Abadi

Hi,

I'm trying to create Web API on .NET CORE which will be used as another layer between the client and the CWS.

The goal is to create custom API's which a client will be requesting and won't be exposed to the CWS directly. Client will be uploading documents, searching and retrieving some data at Content Server.

I'm struggling with the whole Connected Services thing as I'm trying to link the CWS to the application and missing some methods. AuthenticateUser has somehow disappeared from Authentication.svc and I have only left with AuthenticateUseraSync. I'm wondering why some of the methods has disappeared since I have a console application which has those methods.

Is that even a good idea to combine CWS with WebAPI in order to interact with CS?

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.
