I am working on a project where I have a requirement to create workitem on Visual Studio Online instance. I am using personal access token. This will set CreatedBy as my name (Expected behavior). I am considering to use Oauth2; However, I am not sure if there's the way to do this Server-to-Server (Non-Interactive)? Any suggestions thoughts?
var personalAccessToken = "PAT Value fro Config";
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Basic",
Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(string.Format("{0}:{1}", "", personalAccessToken))));
return client;
PAT's are created in Security context of the user. I need to find a way to use Oauth without having to involved UI. So I'm looking for Server-to-Server Auth.
