Authentication

Authentication

The authentication can be done in 2 different ways:

• HTTP Basic authentication

Example:

Before version 4.6.5

var host = "<host>";
var login = "<login>";
var password = "<password>";
RedmineManager manager = new RedmineManager(host, login, password);

After version 4.6.5

RedmineManager rm = new(new RedmineManagerOptionsBuilder()
  .WithHost(host)
  .WithBasicAuthentication(login, password)
  ...
  

• ApiKey

  To enable the API-style authentication, you have to check Enable REST API in Administration -> Settings -> Authentication.

  You can find your API key on your account page ( /my/account) when logged in, on the right-hand pane of the default layout.

Example:

Before version 4.6.6

var host = "<host>";
var apiKey = "<api-key>";
RedmineManager manager = new RedmineManager(host, apiKey);

After version 4.6.6

RedmineManager rm = new(new RedmineManagerOptionsBuilder()
    .WithHost(host)
    .WithApiKeyAuthentication(apiKey)
    ...
