How to Manage Logins and Authentication Using C#

Unlock the power of IronPDF by watching this tutorial to effortlessly convert login-protected HTML pages to PDFs in your C# applications, streamlining your document management and enhancing productivity.

In this tutorial, we explore converting an HTML page with login authentication to a PDF using the IronPDF library in a C# application. We demonstrate using a sample ASP.NET Core application hosting a protected invoice page.

To begin, install the IronPDF NuGet package and import the necessary namespace. Set the license key for unrestricted features and instantiate the Chrome PDF renderer class. This class uses Chrome's rendering engine to convert web content to PDF. To bypass login authentication, set the login credentials property using Chrome HTTP login credentials, specifying the network username and password. Define the URI of the protected page you intend to convert. Use the 'render URL as PDF' method to handle authentication and render the URL to a PDF file. Save the generated PDF using the 'save as' method, naming it suitably. Running the console application confirms the successful conversion of the protected invoice page to PDF.

This method allows easy conversion of any server's login-protected HTML pages to PDFs. The tutorial also mentions converting an MVC partial view to a string and then to PDF using IronPDF. Subscribe to Iron Software for more tutorials and sign up for a trial to experience IronPDF's capabilities.
