Authenticating a user using the web service API

To programmatically authenticate a user using the AuthenticationManagerService client web service API, perform the following tasks:

1.	Include project files

•	Create a Microsoft .NET client assembly that consumes the AuthenticationManagerService WSDL. For information, see Creating a .NET client assembly.

•	Reference the Microsoft .NET client assembly. For information, see Referencing the .NET client assembly.

2.	Create an AuthenticationManagerService client

Create a AuthenticationManagerServiceService object by using your proxy class’ constructor.

3.	Invoke the authentication operation

Invoke the AuthenticationManagerServiceClient object’s authenticate method and pass the following values:

•	A string object that contains the user’s name.

•	A byte array (a byte[] object) containing the user’s password. You can obtain the byte[] object by converting a string object containing the password to a byte[] array using the logic shown in the example below.

•

The returned value will be an AuthResult object, which can be used to retrieve information about the user. In the example below, the user’s information is retrieved by first obtaining the AuthResult object’s authenticatedUser field and subsequently obtaining the resultant User object’s canonicalName and domainName fields.
