I am having an issue with authenticate NTLM credenitals, when I use valid credentials, it works, but when I use invalid credentials it does not fail, it works as the same as it would with valid credentials. This is only the case when I enter valid credentials first. Is there away to clear the credentials or what am I doing wrong here? Here is my code:
func loginUser(_ username: String, password: String, completion: @escaping (_ result: Bool) -> Void)
{
let user = username
let password = password
let url = webservice
let credential = URLCredential(user: user, password: password, persistence: .none)
let headers = ["Accept": "application/json;odata=verbose", "Content-type": "application/json;odata=verbose"]
Alamofire.request(url, method: .get, headers: headers).authenticate(usingCredential: credential).responseJSON {
(response) in
print(response.result)
switch response.result {
case .success:
if let value = response.result.value {
completion(true)
}else{
print("There is error in the server response")
completion(false)
}
case .failure (let error):
print("The NTLM request error is: ", error.localizedDescription)
completion(false)
}
}
}
One thing I did notice, if I enter valid creds, then wait a few minutes and enter invalid ones it works as expected.
UPDATE
I have updated my code like so:
func loginUser(_ username: String, password: String, completion: @escaping (_ result: Bool) -> Void)
{
let user = username
let password = password
let url = webservice
let credential = URLCredential(user: user, password: password, persistence: .none)
var urlRequest = URLRequest(url: URL(string: url)!)
urlRequest.cachePolicy = NSURLRequest.CachePolicy.reloadIgnoringCacheData
urlRequest.httpMethod = "get"
urlRequest.setValue("application/json;odata=verbose", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-type")
urlRequest.setValue("application/json;odata=verbose", forHTTPHeaderField: "Accept")
Alamofire.request(urlRequest).authenticate(usingCredential: credential).responseJSON {
(response) in
switch response.result {
case .success:
if let value = response.result.value {
completion(true)
}else{
print("There is error in the server response")
completion(false)
}
case .failure (let error):
print("The NTLM request error is: ", error.localizedDescription)
completion(false)
}
}
}
To add a cache policy, but I still get the same result :(
