How to use Microsoft Dynamics CRM in soup UI - dynamics-crm

Question

I am very new to Microsoft Dynamics CRM. I am trying to connect to my demo account through REST API using SOUP Ui. But every time I am getting authorization failed error( Error code 401). How should I pass my login credentials in HTTP Header. I am not using SDK, I am just making a rest API call. Please help me in this. If my question is too broad please let me know. I will update my question.
Regards

Not sure how Soup UI works but it sounds like you will need to provide login credentials.
The MSDN has a C# sharp example.
private HttpClient getNewHttpClient(string userName,string password,string domainName, string webAPIBaseAddress)
{
HttpClient client = new HttpClient(new HttpClientHandler() { Credentials = new NetworkCredential(userName, password, domainName) });
client.BaseAddress = new Uri(webAPIBaseAddress);
client.Timeout = new TimeSpan(0, 2, 0);
return client;
}
Can u tell me exactly what should I use for the argument domainName
This depends on exactly what type of CRM setup (online, on-premise, IFD) you are trying to connect to.
Have a look at this and this which demonstrates various connection string details. The samples are using a different connection mechanism to use the SOAP services, but I would expect the username, domain, to be the same with the REST endpoint.
Do u know which are all authentication types Microsoft Dynamics CRM
accepts like (Basic, NTLM, etc) ?
Authenticate users in Microsoft Dynamics CRM
Microsoft Dynamics CRM supports three security models for
authentication: claims-based authentication, Active Directory
authentication, and OAuth 2.0. The type of authentication used depends
on the type of deployment your application is accessing, Microsoft
Dynamics CRM Online or Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2016, and if your
application is using the Web API or the Organization Service.
