The following C# .NET code example authenticates a user.

using System;

using System.Collections;

using System.ComponentModel;

using System.Data;

using System.IO; 

namespace ManageUsersWSApp

{

    class AuthenticateUserTest

	{

		[STAThread]

		static void Main(string[] args)

		{

            try

            {

                // Create a AuthenticationManagerServiceService  object

                AuthenticationManagerServiceService svc = new AuthenticationManagerServiceService();

                // Provide authentication credentials to the service

                svc.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(

                    "administrator", 

                    "password"

                );

                // Authenticate the user

                string username = "administrator";

                string password = "password";

                char[] passwordchars = password.ToCharArray();

                byte[] passwordbytes = new byte[passwordchars.Length];

                for (int i = 0; i < passwordchars.Length; i++)

                    passwordbytes[i] = (byte)(passwordchars[i]);

                AuthResult authResult = svc.authenticate(username, passwordbytes);

                // Get the authenticated user’s information

                User authUser = authResult.authenticatedUser;

                Console.WriteLine("Authenticated user’s canonical name: " + authUser.canonicalName);

                Console.WriteLine("Authenticated user’s domain name: " + authUser.domainName);

            }

            catch (Exception ee)

            {

                Console.WriteLine("An unexpected exception was encountered: " + ee.Message + "\n" + ee.StackTrace);

            }

        }

	}

}
