Tonight i come search some help about how to call a web api hosted in IIS.
Everything work well in local from visual studio to iis express. But strangely, after publish on my IIS server. I always get 401 unauthorized :'(
Here is the code i use and the settings from my IIS server. I will be very grateful if somebody can help me. Thank you
**
The controller and the function i try to call (with basic authentication attribute)
**
[HttpGet]
[ActionName("Get_UserID")]
[IdentityBasicAuthentication]
[Authorize]
public HttpResponseMessage Get_UserID(string userName)
{
HttpResponseMessage res = new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.Created);
try
{
var user = Membership.GetUser(userName, false);
if (user != null)
{
res = Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, (Guid)user.ProviderUserKey);
}
else
{
res = Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.ExpectationFailed);
res.Content = new StringContent("Error");
res.ReasonPhrase = "UserName not find in the database";
}
}
catch (Exception exc)
{
//Set the response message as an exception
res = Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.InternalServerError);
res.Content = new StringContent("Exception");
res.ReasonPhrase = exc.Message;
}
return res;
}

Client side - How i call the web api and build my httpClient
**
public static async Task<HttpResponseMessage> RequestStart(string requestUrl, string webApiUrlBase = Globals.WebApi_Url, bool IsAuthenticateMemberRequest = false)
{
if (webApiUrlBase == null)
{
webApiUrlBase = Globals.WebApi_Url;
}
var response = new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.Created);
using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
if (IsAuthenticateMemberRequest)
{
string strToEncode = ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings.Values["userName"].ToString() + ":" + ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings.Values["password"].ToString();
var authenticationBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(strToEncode);
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Basic",
Convert.ToBase64String(authenticationBytes));
}
client.BaseAddress = new Uri(Globals.WebApi_Url);
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
response = await client.GetAsync(requestUrl);
}
return response;
}
