Adding a new user

The following C# code creates an authenticated connection and then adds a new user to the Qlik NPrinting Server Repository database. Remember to substitute server.name.com with your actual Qlik NPrinting Server name.

  static void Main(string[] args)
{
    //Create the HTTP Request (authenticate) and add required headers
    ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12;
    HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(@"https://server.name.com:4993/api/v1/login/ntlm");
    //Assign custom SSL certificate validation method if certificate is untrusted
    //request.ServerCertificateValidationCallback += (sender, certificate, chain, sslPolicyErrors) => true;
    CookieContainer cookies = new CookieContainer();
    request.CookieContainer = cookies;
    request.Method = "GET";
    request.UserAgent = "Windows";
    request.Accept = "application/json";
    //Specify to run as the current Microsoft Windows user
    request.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
    try
    {
        // make the web request and return the content
        HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
        StreamReader responseReader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
        string sResponseHTML = responseReader.ReadToEnd();
        Console.WriteLine(sResponseHTML);
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
    }
    //Create second HTTP request to add a new user and required headers
    HttpWebRequest secondRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(@"https://server.name.com:4993/api/v1/users");
    //Assign custom SSL certificate validation method if certificate is untrusted
    //secondRequest.ServerCertificateValidationCallback += (sender, certificate, chain, sslPolicyErrors) => true;
	//Add the XSRF token
    secondRequest.Headers.Add("X-XSRF-TOKEN", cookies.GetCookies(request.RequestUri)["NPWEBCONSOLE_XSRF-TOKEN"].Value);
    secondRequest.CookieContainer = cookies;
    secondRequest.Method = "POST";
    secondRequest.UserAgent = "Windows";
    secondRequest.Accept = "application/json";
    secondRequest.ContentType = "application/json";
    //Specify to run as the current Microsoft Windows user
    secondRequest.UseDefaultCredentials = true;

    //Prepare JSON object to send to the remote server
    JsonUser user = new JsonUser();
    user.Email = "name@domain.com";
    user.Enabled = "true";

    user.Timezone = "CET";
    user.Locale = "En";
    user.Folder = "NewUser";
    user.SubFolder = "NewUser";
    user.Password = "Password123";

    string jUserString = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(user);
    using (var streamWriter = new StreamWriter(secondRequest.GetRequestStream()))
    {
        streamWriter.Write(jUserString);
        streamWriter.Flush();
        streamWriter.Close();
    }
    try
    {
        HttpWebResponse response2 = (HttpWebResponse)secondRequest.GetResponse();
        StreamReader responseReader2 = new StreamReader(response2.GetResponseStream());
        string sResponseHTML2 = responseReader2.ReadToEnd();
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
