How to set Basic Authentication in C# ASP.NET (NavUserPassword) - Consuming Business Central On-Premise SOAP URL

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by medzem 40

Hello everyone,

Lately, I've been working on a web application that consumes Business Central APIs. (from a SOAP URL)

The code that I wrote worked just fine before changing the Credential Type from Windows to NavUserPassword (in order to consume APIs with Basic authorization)

But then, (after I changed to NavUserPassword) it started given me a server error (HTTP status 401: Unauthorized)

I did some research about how to set username and password in a header property or something and I found some solutions but none of them worked for me,

Can anyone help me solve this please

Thanks.

    Hello,

    We currently do not have dedicated Dev support via the Dynamics 365 Business Central forums, but I wanted to provide you some additional resources to assist. If you need assistance with debugging or coding I would recommend discussing this on one of our communities.

    I will open this up to the community in case they have something to add.

    Thanks.
