    Authenticating against the Umbraco back office remotely - UmbracoAuthorizedApiController

    Hi peeps,

    After a bit of advice on trying to achieve something I've not done before. I want to create an UmbracoAuthorizedApiController for connecting to the back office. However this API will be called from an external system so I was wondering the following:

    How can I go about logging/authenticating against the back office and then call another authorizedApi?

    Pointers/advice/examples to look at would be greatly appreciated :-)

    Thanks very much :-)

    Nik

    Hi Nik,

    The following works for me in a console application using HttpClient:

    using Newtonsoft.Json;
using System;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Text;

namespace ConsoleApplication
{
    class Program
    {
        class LoginRequest
        {
            public string Username { get; set; }
            public string Password { get; set; }
        }

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using (var client = new HttpClient())
            {
                client.BaseAddress = new Uri("http://localhost:1337/umbraco/backoffice/");

                var loginRequest = new LoginRequest { Username = "admin", Password = "framework123!" };
                var loginRequestJson = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(loginRequest);
                var content = new StringContent(loginRequestJson, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
                var loginResult = client.PostAsync("UmbracoApi/Authentication/PostLogin", content).Result;

                var testResult = client.GetAsync("Api/MyBackofficeApi/Test").Result;
                Console.WriteLine(testResult.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result);
                Console.ReadLine();
            }
        }
    }
}

    Steven
