Question

Answer 1

Authenticate with query string method is unsecured one, so I found a solution with Basic Authentication method.

WebClient webClient = new System.Net.WebClient();
Uri uri = new Uri("http://serverDomain:8080/pentaho/Home");
//Give user name and password here
var plainTextBytes = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("username:password");
var encodedString = System.Convert.ToBase64String(plainTextBytes);
webClient.Headers["Authorization"] = "Basic " + encodedString;
webClient.Encoding = Encoding.UTF8;
App.WindowManager.ConsoleWrite(uri.ToString());
webClient.UploadStringAsync(uri, "POST", "");
