Hi there, I am using Kentico V9. I was trying to connect to REST API from .NET console app. I am getting 403 Forbidden.I had a look around about the error but no luck.

Details

  1. Website is hosted in Azure
  2. Using HttpClient to talk to REST API
  3. Basic Authentication and user is Global Administrator
  4. Followed steps mentioned in documentation https://docs.kentico.com/display/K9/Kentico+REST+service

Any help regarding this issue highly appreciated.

Regards,

Gopala

You can't get forbidden for Global Admin.

Make sure:

  • runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true" in web.config
  • Rest is enabled and uses basic authentication
  • you pass correct authorization header within your request
