how to connect from c# to IBM RQM

You can look at the authentication code of the RQM sample utilities (written in Java) that show the required requests for both basic and form authentication.  For example, see com.ibm.rqm.ct.client.internal.JFSHttpsClient.login(String, String) in the RQM Copy Utility (see https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RQMCopyUtility#Accessing_the_Source).

I have found some source code :

but unfortunately fails when trying to login
             if ((header != null) && header.Equals("authrequired"))
                {
                    documentResponse.GetResponseStream().Flush();
                    documentResponse.Close();
                    // The server requires an authentication: Create the login form

                    HttpWebRequest formPost = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(serverURI + "/j_security_check");
                    formPost.Method = "POST";
                    formPost.Timeout = 30000;
                    formPost.CookieContainer = request.CookieContainer;
                    formPost.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
                    String output = "j_username=" + login + "&j_password=" + password;
                    Byte[] outputBuffer = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(output);
                    formPost.ContentLength = outputBuffer.Length;
                    Stream stream = formPost.GetRequestStream();
                    stream.Write(outputBuffer, 0, outputBuffer.Length);
                    stream.Close();

                    // Step (2): The client submits the login form
                    if (DEBUG) Console.WriteLine(">> POST " + formPost.RequestUri);
                    HttpWebResponse formResponse = (HttpWebResponse)formPost.GetResponse();
}
The code throws an exception
:Error: The remote server returned an error: (408) Request Timeout.

I wonder whats wrong...

Hi George,

have you checked this blog post already ? It gives you some C# authentication sample code - here in the context of querying RTC WIs.

I will try , but so far working with IBM technology is a nightmare -_-...
I guess IBM never heard about c#...only Java crap...-_-''

I completely agree with you george claud. I would never consider myself moving to IBM technology. Everything is in JAVA :(

We are also planning to move to IBM RTC. I could not find any samples to access RQM. Is your code working now? Could you share me the working sample, would be great helpful for me?

I am doing PoC. It's very urgent.Could you help me?

Thanks in Advance!
