<div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br></div><div>I hope you point me in a direction to achieve an elegant authentication for my Arvados API application.</div><div><br></div><div>I am developing a plugin for a third-party software to download data from our Arvados server. The software dictates the language and platform: C# / .net and Windows. I managed to access the data using .net's System.Net.HttpWebRequest class. What remains to be done is implementing an elegant authentication.</div><div><br></div><div>As a workaround, I logged into the Arvados Workbench using my browser and copy-pasted the authentication token into my application. This works but is not as user-friendly as I would like it to be. So my question is how to achieve the authentication more elegantly without a web browser, for instance by passing username and password to the API up front or using some kind of single sign-on functionality available in .net. </div><div><br></div><div>Do you have any suggestions?</div><div><br></div><div>Best regards</div><div><br></div><div>Thomas<br clear="all"><div><br></div>
