Log on to Project Server and call PSI method

Question

I have a Microsoft Project Server 2007 instance on a network server. I want to call from a development machine a webservice from PSI. How can I connect to PS by specifying a username and password? (Something similar to what happens when you access the PWA in a browser, you enter your username and password, even if on the computer from which you work you have another user/password).

Answer 1

You need to use Project Server's provided impersonation solution. There is a How To and Walkthrough available here.

From memory it's quite involved to get working (e.g. need to generate web service proxies) but once you do it works well.

Answer 2

Instead, I simply set the credentials for the web service to network credentials using a custom user, domain and password. Seems to work for what I need.

myPSWebService.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("user", "pass", "domain");
