Authentication

The following example shows you how to connect to a WebDAV server with a user name and password. The credentials are used for Basic, Digest, NTLM and Negotiate (Kerberos) authentication.

C# example

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Net;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Independentsoft.Webdav;

namespace Sample
{
    class Program
    {
        static async Task Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Basic, Digest, NTLM or Negotiate authentication, whichever the server asks for.
            NetworkCredential credential = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");

            // For Windows integrated authentication use the credentials of the current user instead:
            // ICredentials credential = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;

            using (WebdavClient client = new WebdavClient(credential))
            {
                // Relative addresses are resolved against BaseAddress.
                client.BaseAddress = new Uri("https://myserver/dav/");

                IReadOnlyList<ResourceInfo> resources = await client.List("");

                foreach (ResourceInfo resource in resources)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(resource.Name);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

VB example

Imports System
Imports System.Collections.Generic
Imports System.Net
Imports System.Threading.Tasks
Imports Independentsoft.Webdav

Namespace Sample
    Module Program
        Sub Main(args As String())
            RunAsync().GetAwaiter().GetResult()
        End Sub

        Private Async Function RunAsync() As Task
            ' Basic, Digest, NTLM or Negotiate authentication, whichever the server asks for.
            Dim credential As New NetworkCredential("username", "password")

            ' For Windows integrated authentication use the credentials of the current user instead:
            ' Dim credential As ICredentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials

            Using client As New WebdavClient(credential)
                ' Relative addresses are resolved against BaseAddress.
                client.BaseAddress = New Uri("https://myserver/dav/")

                Dim resources As IReadOnlyList(Of ResourceInfo) = Await client.List("")

                For Each resource As ResourceInfo In resources
                    Console.WriteLine(resource.Name)
                Next
            End Using
        End Function
    End Module
End Namespace
