Connection to data service with Authorization header

zanvan

Hi,
We have a WCF data service that authenticate using basic authentication passing credentials in the Authorization header.
How can I connect with LinqPad to such data service?

Thanks,

What happens if you enter your username/password into the boxes provided?

I get a popup with the message: "WebException: The remote server returned an error (401) Unauthorized.".
This happens because the service code looks for Authorization header with credentials.

Are you sure it's configured to use basic authentication? LINQPad assigns a NetworkCredential object to the DataServiceContext's Credentials property with the username and password you supply. This should work with basic authentication.
