Calling a SOAP service in .net Core

Question

I´m porting a .net 4.6.2 code to a .net Core project, that calls a SOAP service. In the new code I´m using C# (because of some config reasons I just can´t r

I used the .net core 3 svutil to generate the wrapper classes from an old school asmx SOAP / WSDL. See - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/additional-tools/dotnet-svcutil-guide?tabs=dotnetsvcutil2x

I then wrapped the remote and used the code below to set the authentication. I believe this works for Kerberos and will fall back to NTLM (depending on the headers returned from the server).

public class DocumentManagerWrapper {

public DocumentManagerWrapper(string serviceUrl,
    String username,
    String password)
{
    _serviceUrl = serviceUrl;
    _username = username;
    _password = password;
}

private String _serviceUrl;
private String _username;
private String _password;

private DocumentManagerSoap GetSoapConnection() { BasicHttpSecurityMode mode = _serviceUrl.StartsWith("https") ? BasicHttpSecurityMode.Transport : BasicHttpSecurityMode.TransportCredentialOnly; BasicHttpBinding binding = new BasicHttpBinding(mode);

    binding.Security.Transport.ClientCredentialType = HttpClientCredentialType.Windows;

    EndpointAddress address = new EndpointAddress(_serviceUrl);

    ChannelFactory channel = new ChannelFactory(binding,
        address);
    channel.Credentials.Windows.ClientCredential.UserName = _username;
    channel.Credentials.Windows.ClientCredential.Password = _password;
    DocumentManagerSoap soap = channel.CreateChannel();
    
    return soap;
 }

Note - DocumentManagerSoapChannel and DocumentManagerSoap classes are generated by svcutil.
