Wcf Services in Ektron - ektron

Question

I am working with WCF Services in Ektron(rrot/Workarea/Services).
When i am trying to consume the ContentService.svc service in a client using the following code,
ContentManagerClient cClient = new ContentManagerClient();
UpdatedContentService.ContentData data = new UpdatedContentService.ContentData();
data.m_strTitle = "test";
data.m_strHtml = "test";
data.m_intFolderId = 72;
data.m_intUserId = 1;
cClient.Add(data);
I am getting the following error ' The current user does not have permission to carry out this request'.
How can i authenticate an ektron user to perform this action from a client?

The answer you received on the ektron dev forums was a good one. (prior discussion for anyone with the same problem: http://developer.ektron.com/forums/?v=t&t=1280)
You will need to use the Auth service, not the content service. this can be done using the following steps:
Create a proxy object for the web service:
Run .Net tool wsdl.exe against your webservice address, e.g. http://localhost:/Workarea/webservices/AuthService.asmx
Compile into DLL by running “csc /t:library AuthenticationService.cs”:
Add the DLL as a reference to your DLL or console app
Copy the DLL to a Lib folder in your project
Add the DLL as a reference to your DLL or console app
Copy the DLL to a Lib folder in your project
Right click “Add reference” and browse to your created proxy DLL.
Add System.Web.Services as a reference to your DLL or console app
Call the proxy code from your app:
AuthenticationService auth = new AuthenticationService();
IAsyncResult response = auth.BeginisValidUser(username, password, etc...);

This example was adapted from the VooDoo engineering example of pulling in the content service:
