The method used to configure authentication varies depending on what type of authentication you wish to perform. More details can be found here https://support.fortanix.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015941132-Authentication.
Every authentication creates a session that grants a bearer token which can be passed for any other API requests. Please note that the bearer token expires if the session remains inactive for a long period of time. Please check with Fortanix DSM admin for the expiration values. By default, user sessions expire after 24 hours and app sessions expire after 10 min if remained idle.
The sample code below authenticates using provided credentials and then saves the bearer token in the API Client for subsequent use by other API requests.
User Authentication
This example describes user authentication using a user’s email and password.
How to get account Id: Go to Account Settings. Copy the Account ID displayed on the right.

C#
Configuration.Default.BasePath = "<Endpoint URL>";
Configuration.Default.Username = <user email>;
Configuration.Default.Password = <user password>;
AuthenticationApi authenticationApi = new AuthenticationApi();

Configuration.Default.AddApiKeyPrefix("Authorization", "Bearer");
//Select account
SelectAccountRequest request = new SelectAccountRequest().acctId(<Account Id>);
