How to do client-side authentication for REST calls?

Posted by Community Admin on 11-May-2011 00:00

I want to do some REST calls on the frontend for client-side scripting. How do I authenticate via Javascript / jQuery since the end user will never be logged in?

Hello Basem,

You can use Sys.Net.WebRequest(); to make a POST request to /Sitefinity/Services/Security/Users.svc/. The parameter for authenticate method that you should use is Authenticate

Hi ,

It would not be possible to authenticate a user through the service using client side api. You need to make HttpWebRequest. You can take a look at this post
