Windows Authentication in groovy rest api

[Neha Sharma]

Hi,

I'm tying to make a post request to an API which accepts only Windows authentication. I'm not sure (and couldn't find anything helpful online) how to do it in a groovy script.

I have an issue listener where I'll be posting the comment (whenever a new comment is added to the issue) to a different application using an api call. This api call is based on NTLM authentication.

Any idea how this can be done ?

Below is a sample code for the same in C# 

 var uri = new Uri(baseURL+ "xyz");
 using (var wc = new WebClient())
 {
 wc.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
 wc.Headers.Set("Content-Type", "application/json");
 var res = wc.UploadString(uri, "POST", json);
 return wc.ResponseHeaders.Get("ABC");
 }

So, basically I want to implement the wc.UseDefaultCredentials = true part in groovy.

Thanks,

Neha
