ARS 8.1.02 My client, a Government Agency, is wondering if it is possible to use CAC Authentication to invoke a web services call.
My client would like to know if there is any way to use client certificate-based authentication to authenticate via the .NET library to the Remedy web service. In our case, this would be smartcard auth, but the issue is generic to any client cert. The specific place where we are stuck is in the server class' Login method; it appears that all overloads require a user/pass. We think the .NET library is officially unsupported, and I don't know how feasible the C/Java API is for our use. The other option we are exploring is to bypass the BMC .NET library and instead perform generic HTTP transactions but we still need to work out how to perform the authentication there. Has anyone had a similar requirement and have any suggestions?
