I have a WPF client using RestSharp and WEB API Service. I try to use HttpBasicAuthenticator as follows:
RestRequest login = new RestRequest("/api/users/login", Method.POST);
var authenticator = new HttpBasicAuthenticator("admin","22");
authenticator.Authenticate(Client, login);
IRestResponse response = Client.Execute(login);
The POST request looks like this:
POST http://localhost/api/users/login HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46MjI=
Accept: application/json, application/xml, text/json, text/x-json, text/javascript, text/xml
User-Agent: RestSharp/105.1.0.0
Host: dellnote:810
Content-Length: 0
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Connection: Keep-Alive
Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46MjI= on the server side? Do I get username and password from this header? I need to get simple authentication based on security token but cannot find example that describes all sides of this process. Can someone point me to some full example that includes client and server side (and uses RestSharp).
new SimpleAuthenticator("username", username, "password", password) did NOT work with me.
The following however worked:
var client = new RestClient("http://example.com");
client.Authenticator = new HttpBasicAuthenticator(userName, password);
var request = new RestRequest("resource", Method.GET);
client.Execute(request);
From RestSharp documentation:
var client = new RestClient("http://example.com");
client.Authenticator = new SimpleAuthenticator("username", "foo", "password", "bar");
var request = new RestRequest("resource", Method.GET);
client.Execute(request);
The URL generated for this request would be http://example.com/resource?username=foo&password=bar
So you get the password just as any other parameter (although, it's recommended to use POST method then GET, for security reasons).
As for the cookies, check this out: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.application.setcookie.aspx

Hope it helps
The following worked for me:
private string GetBearerToken()
{
var client = new RestClient("http://localhost");
client.Authenticator = new HttpBasicAuthenticator("admin", "22");
var request = new RestRequest("api/users/login", Method.POST);
request.AddHeader("content-type", "application/json");
request.AddParameter("application/json", "{ \"grant_type\":\"client_credentials\" }", ParameterType.RequestBody);
var responseJson = _client.Execute(request).Content;
var token = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string, object>>(responseJson)["access_token"].ToString();
if(token.Length == 0)
{
throw new AuthenticationException("API authentication failed.");
}
return token;
}
