ServiceStack provides an example where the different methods of authentication are tested in code. I was trying to build a simple browser test, just to see how it works.
I basically used this: ServiceStack Web Service with Basic Authentication and SetCredentials as a base template.

When I go to the metadata page, I see that Auth is listed as one of the available operations.

What do I need to enter as URL, to test whether Auth is working? For example localhost/ServiceStack.Hello/hello/suraj is what I typed in to test the hello world app. How do I test for authentication?

P.s: This is probably a Noob Question, so my apologies in advance.

    See ServiceStack’s AuthTests.cs for examples on how to test BasicAuth with a C# client.

    If you want to do it manually you’ll have to use something like Fiddler that will let you manually specify the BasicAuth Authorization: Basic ... HTTP Header. See the wikipedia reference on HTTP BasicAuth for an example.
