Authenticate user when printing from IOS device

Question

I've built a small App that register a service that looks like an Airpint to IOS device. I have little knowledge on IPP programming. I am using Monozeroconf Dll and C# to register my service etc... and that's all work fine but i would like to display a popup to enter Username and password so that i can identify the person that is printing.

Can someone help or point me to the right direction.

Thanks in advance.

Please elaborate on what you have tried and show that actual code snippet. — Roi Danton, Jul 16 '18 at 13:45
Below is the code am using to do the GET request: HttpWebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("url") as HttpWebRequest; request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(loginUserName, password); WebResponse response = request.GetResponse(); from my understanding after sending the GERT Request the resoource should see that an authentication is needed and should show me a popup on the IOS device requiring an authentication. not sure if this logic is right. — user9752057, Jul 17 '18 at 07:28

Just in case someone out there has been struggling with this, here's my code

 if (!HttpListener.IsSupported)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Server does not support Http Listener.");
        return;
    }
    // URI prefixes required,
    if (prefixes == null || prefixes.Length == 0)
        throw new ArgumentException("prefixes required");

    // Create a listener.
    HttpListener listener = new HttpListener();
    // Add the prefixes.
    foreach (string s in prefixes)
    {
        listener.Prefixes.Add(s);
    }
    listener.Start();
    listener.AuthenticationSchemes = AuthenticationSchemes.Basic;
    Console.WriteLine("About to listen to " + prefixes[0].ToString());

    if (listener.IsListening) {
        Console.WriteLine("Currently Listening to " + prefixes[0].ToString());
    }
    //Wait until a connection is made before continuing
    //allDone.WaitOne();

    // Note: The GetContext method blocks while waiting for a request.
    HttpListenerContext context = listener.GetContext();

    //Retrives Username and password from the Http Request
    var hlbi = (HttpListenerBasicIdentity)context.User.Identity;
    Console.WriteLine("Username: " + hlbi.Name);
    Console.WriteLine("Password: " + hlbi.Password);

    listener.Stop();`

for some reason my firewall was blocking connection on Getcontext(), so i had to put an excpetion on the IPP port 631.(not the application)
