    You can specify which users have access to each individual webservice in the umbracoSettings.config in the config folder.  You can use any of the users you have setup in Umbraco.

     

      <!-- configuration for webservices -->
      <!-- webservices are disabled by default. Set enable="True" to enable them -->
      <webservices enabled="True">
        <!-- You must set user-rights for each service. Enter the usernames seperated with comma (,) -->
        <documentServiceUsers>your-username</documentServiceUsers>
        <fileServiceUsers>your-username</fileServiceUsers>
        <stylesheetServiceUsers>your-username</stylesheetServiceUsers>
        <memberServiceUsers>your-username</memberServiceUsers>
        <templateServiceUsers>your-username</templateServiceUsers>
        <!-- type of files (extensions) that are allowed for the file service -->
        <fileServiceFolders>css,xslt,data</fileServiceFolders>
      </webservices>

    I replaced your-username with Administrator or admin, however i am not able to authenticate to webservice.

    Received following exception.

    System.Exception: The user does not authenticate

    OK i found the answer by means of reverse engineering the source code of Umbraco...

    Password was stored in HASH format in DB and i was sending plain text password through webservice and hence authentication was failing.
