Examples
The following code example uses the QMS API to get the current authentication type for the specified QVWS. It changes the authentication type to NTLM and then saves it. If everything goes well, it prints the original authentication type and then a message when it's done. If anything goes wrong it prints an error message.

The service key injection is assumed to be handled behind the scenes. For an example of how to inject the service key, see Samples.
