SP 2019 CSOM Console App

Question

I am trying to develop a CSOM console app for a SharePoint 2019 site and I'm having trouble authenticating.

I've tried:

context.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password", "domain");

and

ICredentials credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials; context.Credentials = credentials;

(CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials had empty strings for Domain, Password, and UserName)

I've also tried

var credentials = new Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials(username, securePassword);

after having created the secure password.

Any other suggestions?

I've used both NetworkCredential and CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials successfully in many programs in the past. Are you on the same network as the SharePoint server(s)? Not being on the same network is the only thing I can think of that may cause problems. — Rob Windsor

I'm on a virtual desktop in the same domain as the server, I can connect with the server using PnP Powershell — Rogerb

Be sure to include SharePoint client DLL before, for example:

[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint.Client") [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime")

Or with a direct path:

Add-Type -Path "E:\Apps\CSOM\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll" Add-Type -Path "E:\Apps\CSOM\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.dll"

And then you can try :

$ctx = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($webUrl) $credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential($Login, $Password, $Domain) $ctx.Credentials = $credentials

I tested it with SharePoint 2019.

$rootWebsite = $ctx.Web $ctx.Load($rootWebsite) $ctx.ExecuteQuery()

This looks like PowerShell which I might have to consider using. I am changing permissions on list items which is why I decided to use a console application instead — Rogerb

Oh sorry, I didn't answer with C# code but the syntax is almost the same! Maybe you could try in PowerShell to check if the error is the same or not. — jleture

I've used PnP PowerShell and it was a piece of cake.

Connect-PnPOnline -Url "<site url>" -CurrentCredential $list = "account" $startId = 0 $endId = 5000 for($i = $startId; $i -le $endId; $i++){ $item = Get-PnPListItem -List $list -Id $i if($item["DocumentType"] -eq "Protection"){ if(-not(Get-PnPProperty -ClientObject $item -Property "HasUniqueRoleAssignments")){ Set-PnPListItemPermission -List $list -Identity $i -AddRole "Full Control" -Group "CRM Owners" -ClearExisting Set-PnPListItemPermission -List $list -Identity $i -AddRole "Contribute" -Group "CRM Protection Members" } } }

I think some network setting was blocking the communication protocol my console app was using
