public Authorization Authenticate( string challenge,WebRequest request,ICredentials credentials)
{
try
{
string message;
// Check if Challenge string was raised by a site which requires CloneBasic authentication.
if ((challenge == null) || (!challenge.StartsWith("CloneBasic")))
return null;
NetworkCredential myCredentials;
if (credentials is CredentialCache)
{
myCredentials = credentials.GetCredential(request.RequestUri,"CloneBasic");
if (myCredentials == null)
return null;
}
else
myCredentials = (NetworkCredential)credentials;
// Message encryption scheme :
// a)Concatenate username and password seperated by space;
// b)Apply ASCII encoding to obtain a stream of bytes;
// c)Apply Base64 Encoding to this array of bytes to obtain our encoded authorization message.
message = myCredentials.UserName + " " + myCredentials.Password;
// Apply AsciiEncoding to our user name and password to obtain it as an array of bytes.
Encoding asciiEncoding = Encoding.ASCII;
byte[] byteArray = new byte[asciiEncoding.GetByteCount(message)];
byteArray = asciiEncoding.GetBytes(message);
// Perform Base64 transform.
message = Convert.ToBase64String(byteArray);
// The following overloaded contructor sets the 'Message' property of authorization to the base64 string;
// that we just formed and it also sets the 'Complete' property to true and the connection group id;
// to the domain of the NetworkCredential object.
Authorization myAuthorization = new Authorization("CloneBasic " + message,true,request.ConnectionGroupName);
return myAuthorization;
}
catch(Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine("Exception Raised ...:"+e.Message);
