iOS and ADFS protected web site

Question

I have a web application that is protected using ADFS, this was previously NTLM. We used to be able to retrieve data using the ASIHTTPRequest classes, but it does not appear to work with ADFS. The response is a redirect to the login url.

Is this the correct method of connecting from iOS to a ADFS protected URL?

    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"https://URL_TO_WCF_SERVICE"];

    ASIHTTPRequest *request = [ASIHTTPRequest requestWithURL:url];
    [request addRequestHeader:@"Authorization" value:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Basic %@",[ASIHTTPRequest base64forData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@:%@",userName, password] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]]]];
    [request startSynchronous];
    NSError *error = [request error];
    if (!error) {
        NSString *response = [request responseString];
        NSLog(@"%@", response);
    }

Answer 1

It might be related to Extended Protection. See NTLM authentication to AD FS for non-IE browser without 'Extended Protection' switched off? for more info.

HTH!
